Elevate your brand with captivating design. Welcome to my graphic design portfolio.

Hey! I’m Katie, your friendly neighborhood creative using her passion for problem solving and design to help brands bring their story to life.

As lead graphic designer and creative director at the Ripl Creative, I work hand-in-hand with the creative team to guide projects to completion. I’m an award-winning creative, Tri-Cities 40 Under Forty Honoree, and the woman behind many of the Ripl Creative’s designs. I have an eye for detail and passion for problem solving that pushes my designs to drive results. Having successfully launched and completed dozens of design and branding projects, I use my client experience and design processes to streamline agency output.

My peers have nice things to say.

Over the years my peers have shared their thoughts on working with me.

  • “I watched Katie rise from an entry-level designer to one of our strongest team members in two years. Always ready to take on large projects and see them to successful completion, she was also a mentor to her peers and set a high bar for them to reach.

    I’ve always admired Katie for her creative abilities, but also for her drive to succeed. She’s a strong example and role model for young women in our region.”

Her passion for marketing strategy and eye for details are second to none. Her hours of work and ownership of a recent (award-winning) national campaign was critical to its success. She takes the utmost care with her designs and actively serves as a role model for other designers. The sky is the limit for her!”

  • “Katie was our intern for two years. She juggled a great variety of projects and tasks with skill, patience and a good sense of humor. Her artwork was used for merchandising and promotions in 2012. We certainly appreciated her organized project management and ability to meet deadlines with time to spare. I look forward to following her career future. She is a treasure.”
