Bringing your vision to life through design

Welcome! I’m Kate, the Ottawa-based
Graphic Designer behind
Just Kate Creative.

If you ask me what my passion is, I’ll tell you it's creating art that comes straight from the heart — designing powerful, inspiring visuals that tell a story. While I may get excited about fashion or a perfectly brewed cup of coffee, it's the world of design that truly lights me up.

It all began with a young girl and Microsoft Paint in 2001…

From an early age, art was always my passion. I didn’t yet have the name for it, but I knew my future would involve both creativity and computers. As I grew older, my love for graphic design blossomed. In high school, I finally took my first official design course — yearbook design! Those days spent in that tiny yearbook class were where I first honed my skills and began learning the fundamentals of design. It was there that I realized, with absolute clarity, that graphic design was my true calling.

After nearly a decade of education, hard work, and industry experience, I’ve built a career and business that I’m proud of today. I spend my days designing, creating, and helping businesses shape their brands and identities. For me, it’s more than just a job — it's a true passion. I can't imagine doing anything else.

I truly believe I have the best job in the world. Helping clients and entrepreneurs build meaningful, beautiful brands that resonate with their audiences is incredibly rewarding. I’m so grateful to work with those who value the effort and heart I put into every project.
