Hi there! I'm Kate!
I am a children's book author, illustrator, and brand designer located in Northern Wisconsin where I reside with my husband, two children, our two cats (Jerk Cat & Nice Kitty), and our dog (Izzy).
I help brands tell better stories through powerful, emotionally intelligent design.
With over a decade of experience, I’ve developed visual identities and branded content for institutions like the U.S. Mint, Encyclopaedia Britannica, and Squatty Potty. My background blends strategic branding with character-rich illustration — allowing me to build design systems that are both memorable and meaningful.
Whether you’re a founder launching your next big idea, a creative director refreshing your brand visuals, or someone interested in bringing their children's book to life- I bring clarity, narrative, and passion to every project.
Let’s Work Together!
Thank you!
