Hi, i'm Katie, a blossoming creative in my early twenties trying to figure it all out. For me, things really fell into place in my third year of University when I realised I thrived when brainstorming ideas and turning them into something tangible using Adobe InDesign and Photoshop. With a background in art and design, school was more than just classes; it was where I discovered the concept of turning ideas into reality. So, let's connect and explore how my blend of creativity, research and determination can bring fresh perspectives to an exciting space.Feel free to scroll down to explore some of the industry experiences I've had and check out some photos! If you're interested in delving deeper into my credentials, why not have a look at my CV!

Throughout my time at Worldwide Cancer Research, I took on a range of responsibilities, including assisting the brand's content manager with trend research and sample content writing. Additionally, I collaborated with the communications manager at a cancer research lab, contributing to a photo shoot for the website’s visual content. Moreover, I actively participated in meetings with the fundraising, marketing, and communications teams to understand their London Marathon 2024 runner campaign strategy. As a result of these experiences, I not only refined my time management and communication skills but also gained invaluable insights into the branding and communication strategies within the charity sector.
