About me
Hey, I'm Katie Ash, a Senior Designer with over seven years’ experience working across digital, print, and UX. I’ve been freelancing for the past 3 years, working with a variety of agencies and clients, from international shoe brand Clarks Originals, to leading veterinary care provider Medivet,
doing everything from web design, motion graphics, social content, and
print design.
I have a Master's in Graphic Design, where I explored user-centred design and accessibility, as well as expressive grunge style design and typography. My self-initiated design projects are experimental with hand-drawn type and mark making, drawing inspiration from designers Chis Ashworth and David Carson. I also have a Bachelor's in Fine Art where I practiced oil portraiture, exploring body language and psychoanalysis.
I am currently seeking a part-time (or four-day-per-week role) that offers stability and creativity. I’d love to be part of a team where thoughtful, human-centred design makes a real difference. If you think I might be a good fit, please get in touch, I'm always up for a cuppa and chat!
