About me
Katie Whitman
Graphic Designer from Baltimore, Maryland
I am an imaginative, detail oriented, and successful graphic designer with a passion for developing and implementing cohesive branding strategy through the creation of compelling designs. My skills include Print Production, Digital Design, Video Production and Brand Management.
When I am not designing I enjoy reading, exploring the Baltimore & DC area, and spending time with my family & friends, including my two dogs, Thor the Mini Goldendoodle and Stella the Mini Dachshund.
Other fun facts about me:
- I own more books than most libraries
- I can talk about Harry Potter, Game of Thrones and Buffy the Vampire Slayer for hours if you let me
- I probably have more David Bowie T shirts than anyone should
- Sour Beers & IPA's are my favorite. I am a huge supporter of the local craft beer scene
- My dog named Thor is terrified of thunder so it makes his name kind of ironic
