Oh, hey there, I’m Kait. Welcome to my little corner of the internet.
Let me tell you about my journey as a designer. I've discovered that being a designer is all about breaking free from boundaries and thinking outside the frame. It's about asking those oh-so-important questions, nurturing a critical and thoughtful process, and bringing ideas to life with a dash of impeccable strategy. But you know what truly lights up my creative soul? It's advocating for real people and making their dreams come true. I believe that every design has the power to make a difference!

PHILOSOPHYWhat I’ve learned is this —
Design is function.
In good design, there is always a purpose. Design is a practical solution to a problem and there is no unsolvable problem. I am a creative problem-solver and focus on simple, unique ways to communicate solutions that create value for others.
Design is connection.
Design has the ability to change the world, and with the power of impact and influence, we must always create with intention. I create with a desire to make the world a better place. I approach my design work from a place of care for others, respect for my surroundings, and hold true to my core values. Through this, I foster a desire to connect, collaborate, and learn from others to grow as a person and a designer.
Push every idea.
Creativity is a weird, yet magical thing! Being a creative sponge has helped me learn a lot very quickly. One takeaway from it is to push every idea because you never know where creative genius might be hiding. Flushing out your ideas will help keep the creative juices flowing and make you a better designer.
Empathy is a superpower.
Design is an expression of how all things are interconnected, from nature to technology. I strive to gain a deeper understanding of people’s perceptions and needs. Creating connections through empathy helps me to build brands, interfaces, and products that align with my clients and helps express their stories clearly.

We are in the process of recording new music and dreaming up some new branding for the band. Some exciting new projects are on the horizon but in the meantime, we are having fun creating music in a basement.

Listening to new sounds non-stop, I started a side-project where my love for music and design could converge. I am trying my hand at carefully curating a monthly playlist and designing the cover art without any restrictions.
