Hi, my name is Katie and I have a passion for all kinds of design, food and drink!

While I currently specialize in graphic design for packaging, consumer food package design to be specific, my previous experience has always been in customer service and administrative tasks. I’m a quick learner and can easily adapt to all kinds of challenges. I’m attentive to detail and thrive on being quick at finishing tasks.

Whatever the task, I’m happy to do it.

Look forward to hearing from you!
