Kate Watters
Freelance Designer
Atlanta, GAIn My Own Words
I'm a multidisciplinary designer, having experience in both print and digital specialities. I love engaging with clients and finding out their aspirations for their company and figuring out how I can help promote and elevate that brand through the creative process. I believe that the best design solutions come from well-thought out strategies and collaboration. I have your typical traditional design education from The Art Institute. At Turner, I worked in the Brand Experience department alongside some incredibly talented designers who focused on developing and maintaining Turner's overall brand throughout various projects within the company. I took part in creating corporate advertisements, front-end development, social media/blog headers, one sheets, and tried my hand at some environmental designs on a yacht at San Diego's 2016 Comic Con. Currently, I'm freelancing with various clients and agencies throughout the US in projects from branding, logo development, brochure layouts, and creative direction.
