    "Katie has gone above and beyond for our company to not only handle our high-volume of design requests in a timely manner, but she's also come up with creative graphics, GIFs, and taglines for our marketing materials that I don't have the creativity for. She handles our print, web, email, and social graphics with a little twist on each version so we can keep things fresh and eye-catching. I've never had any issues reaching her for urgent requests, which is so valuable for us when we have time-sensitive demands from our clients. Not only does she work like an A+ teammate and provide quality work, she's also enjoyable to work with whether it's on conference calls or email comms. We're blessed to have found Katie and I'd work with her again and again."

    “Katie is a rare talent. I have yet to find anyone as prompt with delivering final designs, a keen eye to detail and an imagination that sets every project apart. I've made it a point to tell all my friends in the music and tech world about her skills.”

  • Design with red background and abstract compass-like patterns in darker red.

    “I have been using Katie as my go-to freelance graphic designer for over 7 years, and even continued her services across two different breweries I have directed. Her creative approach to beer can art has resulted in cans that not only catch the eye but also tell a compelling story. Her designs consistently stand out on the shelf, giving our products a unique voice in a super competitive market.”

  • A dark green textured background with a swirling pattern.

    “Every business needs that person who just gets your brand and knows how to bring it to life visually, and that’s Katie. She’s our go-to for complex design, her work has played a huge role in shaping how we show up to the world. She understands the connection between design, messaging, and impact, and it shows in everything she creates. We can't recommend her enough.”

    Jessica Pagni | CEO & Founder | Montgomery 30 Marketing

  • An array of business cards with the name "Chrissy Tolley" in bold blue letters, featuring a yellow sunburst logo, with some cards displaying the text "Your co-conspirator in divine clarity" in orange.

    “I chose Katie because I knew just how intuitive she would be in understanding my vision and brand. I honestly think she understood it better than I did. Katie's professional, loving, and phenomenally gifted at what she does. I'm so glad I invested in myself and the future of my business by trusting Katie.”

    “It was a joy to entrust such a large portion of my new business into Katie’s capable hands. I highly recommend KRD for all your design needs. She didn’t just create a brand for me, she created beautiful artwork. I couldn’t be more happy with her capturing my vision for my brand. It was awesome working with her and I look forward to working on more projects in the very near future!”
