The joy of working with Katie starts with the fact that she instinctually knows how to get the audience to respond –– intellectually AND emotionally. For many years, I’ve relied on Katie to create brand-transforming designs for international Fortune 100 companies, as well as startups. Best of all, she never loses her professionalism or sense of humor along the way.

Michael Connors, Creative Director at Hornall Anderson and Oracle

Katie’s graphic design skills are truly exceptional. She has an impeccable eye for detail and a keen understanding of design principles. Her ability to transform concepts and ideas into visually stunning and engaging designs is unparalleled. Whether it's creating a logo, designing a website, or crafting marketing materials, Katie consistently delivers outstanding work that exceeds expectations. Beyond her technical skills, Katie has a deep understanding of branding. She approaches every project with a strategic mindset, ensuring that the design aligns perfectly with the client's vision, values, and target audience. She takes the time to thoroughly research and create the brand's essence, enabling her to create designs that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also cohesive and representative of the brand's identity. One of the most impressive aspects of working with Katie is her ability to communicate and collaborate effectively. She is an excellent listener and takes the time to understand the client’s goals and preferences. Katie actively seeks feedback and is always open to incorporating revisions to ensure the final design is exactly what the client desires. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication to meeting deadlines make her an absolute pleasure to work with.

Liz Brown, Senior Director of Marketing Communications at Wiliot

Solutions IQ hired Katie as point for our visual rebranding strategy. Katie was quick witted, responsive and accomplished. She guided us through the process and worked well with our mixed team of full time employees and high end consultants. Today, we have a strong visual voice in an otherwise brand nascent industry. Our internal and external collateral is on point, our booth pops at industry events and our website tells a compelling visual and brand story. In other words, our customers are confident that we are open for business. We couldn’t have gotten where we are today without Katie. If you can hire her, do it. I have no doubts who I will call next time I need to (re)build a brand.

Laszlo Szalvay, Vice President at Solution IQ

Katie is simply the best graphic designer I have ever worked with.  For our Via6 apartments project, she designed, directed and produced every piece of collateral, encompassing all our sales materials, advertising, flyers, promotional items, web site…the list goes on.  She did so with an eye that created a family of visually arresting materials that still were true to their individual identities.  She also happens to be super organized, a welcome talent that not all graphic designers possess.  We could not have been more pleased and satisfied with significant body of work Katie created for us.

Jane Lewis, Principal at Pine Street Group

Katie is a unicorn; she’s incredibly hard working, methodical with her project management skills yet her creative side is brimming with whimsy and always a dash of magic. In the face of a multi-faceted assignment, she takes the time to instill necessary processes to ensure her time and therefore her client’s time is used efficiently. I wish I could keep her all to myself, but instead I’ll highly recommend her here for any project.

Alison Barrett, Marketing Director at University Village

Katie always surprises me with designs that exceed anything I had envisioned. Her thoughtful approach ensures that the creative blends perfectly with the project story and appeals to the right demographic. Never stuffy, never boring, never predictable. Katie’s designs are not only visually stunning, but well planned and executed. I highly recommend Katie Phipps.

Christine Johnson, VP Marketing & Sales at Intracorp

Over the last ten years, I’ve had the distinct pleasure of working with Katie on a variety of projects. She is hands-down, one of the best designers I’ve ever worked with. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she is also very strategic, efficient, professional and has excellent project management skills. When I started my company, GoldieBlox, Katie was the first person I turned to when I needed a designer who truly understands the power of branding. Through her vast experience and killer instincts, we were able to build a brand that has skyrocketed to mainstream success practically overnight. I can’t recommend Katie highly enough.

Debbie Sterling, Founder & CEO of GoldieBlox

Katie’s knowledge of branding, and the impactful brand she built for us, has helped our business tremendously. Her work is beautiful, artistic and is backed by intentional product promotion. She is clear on timelines, schedules and creates realistic expectations. She ensures the integrity of her work stays intact throughout all aspects of execution. Going the extra mile is part of her nature.

Angy Shaltry Riff, Owner & Winemaker of Periple Wines

Katie is like a Swiss Army knife. She utilizes precision, skill, experience, and instinct on every stage of the project. She knew exactly what we needed, how to execute, and deliver. She is a team player that can lead and support in productive and helpful ways. Plus, she’s really fun, funny, and the most creative person we’ve been lucky enough to work with. Can’t recommend her enough.

Becky and Mike Sumsion, Owners of KolobCo. Coffee

I have owned a small women’s boutique for twenty years, and have been fortunate enough to have Katie as our designer for seventeen of those years. As a small business owner you need to be agile as well as budget conscious, which Katie understands and respects. She has given our shop a sophisticated and original look that makes us stand out from a sea retail. As we have grown, the branding has progressed with us and is always spot on. Most importantly, she understands what the consumer wants. Katie goes above and beyond, I don't know what we would do without her. We are grateful to have her with us on our journey.

Kyong An, Owner of Koo.De.Ker

I am not a design expert, but I know what I like. Katie is able to understand not only that, but what I want to say and what I want it to feel like. Our whole brand has been built on her vision and it has turned out to be central to our growth.
