HEY, I'M KATE.

Kate Lawler's Headshot

A Chicago-based graphic designer & marketer with an affection for brand identity & packaging design, and social media & events marketing.​

 

I work at the intersection of visual storytelling and strategy, bringing a hands-on, curious approach to building brands that feel intentional, expressive, and human. A lifelong art kid turned digital creative, I implement design across physical, digital, social, and experiential channels to connect people and support real marketing goals.

 

​I love solving problems through design and creative thinking- whether that’s shaping a brand’s visual identity, designing assets for campaigns, developing marketing plans, or helping ideas translate clearly across platforms.

 

Outside of work, you’ll find me at concerts, reading about psychology, writing, attempting to become besties with any animal I come across, crafting in my art room, or casually critiquing menu layouts over dinner with friends.
