Thanks to Lucy Lu for the photo!

 

Hey, I’m Kaitlin, a Graphic Designer and artist currently working at Jump Branding & Design. I am passionate about creating compelling designs that reflect your brand’s voice and vision. I delight in working with people who find joy in their work and believe in what they are putting into the world. My focus is primarily brand identity for a range of digital and print deliverables, finding ways to effectively communicate, inform and inspire.

I’ve always been drawn to creative outlets from sketching to photography to songwriting and always knew I would pursue a creative career. My professional career began in 2015 after graduating from YSDN the York/Sheridan program in Design.

When not at a computer I can be found playing board games, checking out a local gig, doing yoga, on the hunt for the next niche artist on Spotify or playing fetch with my half-bengal cat Benji, who is more my son, than a cat.

I’ve had the pleasure of working and collaborating with clients such as Taco Bell, KFC, Garden Gallery, Wild Wing, Swiss Chalet, Canadian Tire, Basil Box, South St. Burger, New York Fries, Canon and many others.
