About

You have big dreams. A business that gives you the flexibility to do the work you love and be present in your day-to-day life. A book—or blog series—that you've been wanting to write. A desire to give back in ways that matter. I get it. I do, too! That's why I founded Elevate, a human-centered marketing and design agency that helps people step smartly and joyfully toward their biggest goals. I'll be the first to admit that the marketing world can be confusing and soul-sucking, but I believe it doesn't have to be. We can walk a different path—one of exploration, ideation, and impact. At Elevate, we're here to help you at any step in your journey. We offer a variety of services from strategic branding packages to hands-on marketing support and web design that will turn your hopes of an attractive digital presence into a reality. This work is fueled by many of my passions, and one of those is storytelling. Casual storytelling. Compelling storytelling. World-changing storytelling. In my free time, I'm an agented author who writes fiction novels and an advocate for those with chronic illnesses and disabilities. If you follow me, you'll find I often share about the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation, as I am the current President-Elect for the Indiana Chapter. If you're interested in learning more about anything above, send me a message, and we can set up a time to talk! Wishing you the space and support to step toward your next peak, Katie McNamee Founder of Elevate Co-Founder of LEAP Entrepreneurship Instructor at Purdue University Board Member for the Indiana Chapter of the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation
