Hello! My name is Katie & I am an Emmy Award winning Art Director, residing in Upstate New York with my wife & daughter. I lived in New York City since 2005 as I built my career and networked. While I have a primary love for Motion Graphics, I am also a compositor, color corrector, photographer, illustrator, fine artist, digital and social media artist, and people leader. I like to stay up to date on design trends & media across all platforms. I am a firm believer that the mind never rests, my most relaxing activities are taking daily photos on my DSLR and photoshopping my personal photos. I love expanding my network & surrounding myself with creative people so don’t hesitate to reach out to me! I look forward to meeting you. Specialties: BFA in Computer Art and Visual FX from SVA.
