EXPERIENCE
KT STUDIO is a one-woman shop featuring custom, creative graphic design made for you by me, Katie Stenavich.
My family and I are always on the move, so for the last 6 years I have been a freelance graphic designer from the comfort of my own home (wherever that may be), but have spent 10 years in the field since graduating from the University of Michigan. Currently, I reside in Flagstaff, AZ where KT STUDIO allows me the freedom of working in my pajamas, but more importantly it gives the opportunity to introduce myself to new clients in new locations.
I'm comfortable tackling projects of any size. As art director at Red Moon Marketing in Charlotte, NC for four years I developed work for several big name clients, but I also have experience working with small start-ups and non-profit organizations. Each client and project is unique and I enjoy collaborating with new partners and materializing their objectives from concept to completion.
My strength is print design, but I also have experience designing for the web. I'd say my collection of work falls into two categories - corporate communications and social design. This keeps things interesting while exposing me to different types of projects.
Should you like more information about my professional background, specific work samples, want to discuss a project or just want to say hello, please contact me. You can try calling, but these days email usually yields a faster response!
