Hi, I'm Kate

I translate ideas into clean, creative, and visually appealing designs. I currently live in Toronto, Ontario.

I'm in love with ideas; building them, cultivating them, and watching them come to fruition. I am in the early stages of my career, eager to learn and motivated to succeed.

Fresh Restaurants

Project
Homepage redesign concept
(personal project)

Brief

Fresh is one of my favourite restaurants in Toronto. I visit the website quite frequently to check out the soup specials and order take-out, so I decided to try and modernize the homepage.

The idea was to create a clean, yet enticing homepage layout, beneficial for new customers to understand what Fresh is all about, while also appealing to regulars who want to stay updated.

The design uses the original brand colours and relies on great photography to showcase the wide variety of vegetarian food.

I hope to add more pages soon.

Agriprocity

Project
Logo design
Website design
Wordpress development

Brief

The logo’s simplicity and symbolism intends to capture the true meaning of the company name ‘Agriprocity’ (agriculture + reciprocity).

For the website, a lack in visuals and great amount of content was a challenge. I felt the use of a generic background image which reflects the nature of the company would complement the information and add some visual appeal.
