I’m Kate Ryan, a uniquely creative graphic designer with a background in both design and business, specializing in branding, marketing, and visual communication for community-focused and public-facing organizations.

I’m known for identifying what’s missing in a brand or system and translating those insights into clear, cohesive visual solutions. My work centers on building visual systems that strengthen communication across both print and digital platforms. From event promotion and signage to digital campaigns and brand identities, I approach every project with a strategic, marketing-driven mindset, ensuring design decisions are intentional, consistent, accessible, and aligned with real-world goals.

I bring fresh, forward-thinking experience in collaborating with stakeholders, managing multiple projects, and designing for environments where clarity, organization, reliability, and creativity truly matter. I’m especially drawn to work that supports community engagement, programming, and outreach, using thoughtful visual communication to help people connect, navigate, and engage more easily.

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new creative interests, spending time outdoors downhill skiing, and hanging out with my dog, Stanley.

If you’re looking for a designer who blends big-picture creativity with strategic execution, I’d love the opportunity to connect.
