Hi there!
My name is Katie Kollmann and I am a graphic designer and illustrator based on the Central Coast of California.
I love great design.
I really love great design! There is nothing sweeter than finishing a project and getting that urge to look at it again and again. It’s the kind of design that makes you feel something, and that is something that I am continually inspired by. All of this paired with the pleasure of bringing stories, places, and dreams to life through visuals is why I do what I do. Based in sunny San Luis Obispo, California, I’m livin’ the dream, working at a local marketing agency by day, and working on sketches, illustrations, and branding projects by night. Whether you’re looking for a shiny new logo for your passion project, a set of cards with funky illustrations, or an animated ad to show off your business, I’m your gal!
