A seasoned traveler drawn to New York City, Katie loves being an artist at the intersection of visual and digital media. Her enthusiasm extends to all forms of artistic execution: from illustrations and vector art, to photography and videos, to storyboards and wireframes.

Originally from Baton Rouge, Katie graduated magna cum laude from Louisiana State University with a B.F.A. in Digital Art. An exemplary student, she minored not only in Art History but also in Animation through the school’s groundbreaking Arts, Visualization, Advanced Technologies & Research (AVATAR) Initiative.

During her time at LSU, Katie worked on countless projects. Her favorites include a six-minute motion comic she illustrated and animated and an interactive-storybook website she illustrated in collaboration with a team of developers. Later, while working at an indie game studio, Katie was able to bring her character illustrations to life in side-scroller mobile games.

Prior to joining Impact, Katie showcased her typography and vector-illustration skills as a graphic designer for a home-decor company; her products continue to be sold in major retail outlets.

In her free time, Katie creates webcomics, explores the city, and enjoys a steady flow of iced coffee.
