hey there, i’m katie

A designer, illustrator, long-time Bendite, and obsessive foodie.

As a life-long creative, my passion is in making cool stuff people take notice of.
I love supporting small business and giving them as much of an edge against big competitors as I can.

I’ve lived and worked in Bend, OR for the last two decades, spending my time enjoying our gorgeous Central Oregon landscape, occasionally making non-digital art, and running all over town with my best friend (and husband), looking for good food.
