about
Me!Hi! Im Kathleen, a graphic & web designer born & raised in the great state of Texas, currently residing in beautiful southern Tennessee. With 5+ years of experience as a professional designer, I enjoy creating web sites and other visual publications - both electronic and print. I also have some experience with photography, flash animation, motion graphics, and illustration (it's a lot of fun when I have an excuse to bust out the peripheral skills for a project!).

Aside from my abilities as a designer, I am currently a freshman visual effects/3D animation student at SVAD. My background in general design has been invaluable as I further my studies, and utilizing what I already know in a new medium has helped to make me a stronger designer altogether. I'm hard at work studying full-time and hope to add many more new facets to my artistic abilities in the near future.

contactIf you are interested in hiring me for a short-term freelance project or even looking for a part-time designer, I'm always open to working on a great project. Feel free to get in touch and let's talk!
