About me


Hi! I’m Katie, a visual designer and artist from the San Francisco Bay Area.

Before pursuing independent creative work full-time, I spent nearly six years on YouTube’s global Culture & Trends team, exploring how creativity, storytelling, and cultural phenomena shape the ways we connect online.

Now, I divide my time between design, painting, and fashion. I design brands, websites, and digital visuals for clients, and create paintings inspired by everyday life.

When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me hiking, hunting for vintage pieces, or spending time with friends and family.
