In May 2021, I graduated from Kent State University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Communication Design and a minor in Marketing. My time at Kent was transformative—both personally and creatively. I was challenged to push the boundaries of design, think abstractly, and create work that was both innovative and intentional.

​

When working with clients, I focus on three core values:
Creativity – exploring unique, thoughtful solutions from ideation to execution
Clarity – communicating ideas in a way that’s both impactful and easy to understand
Positivity – bringing energy, encouragement, and dedication to every project

​

My love for photography began during a creative photography class in college. What started as curiosity quickly became a passion—I dove into learning everything I could, shadowed professionals in wedding and product photography, and discovered the joy of capturing authentic moments and meaningful connections.

​

Today, I work full-time as the Creative Media Manager for a Christian summer camp, where I have the privilege of documenting the powerful ways God moves in the lives of campers and staff. Katie Mae Creative grew out of that same joy—creating heartfelt imagery for couples and families that tells their story with warmth and honesty.

Outside of work, you’ll find me exploring nature (I’m on a mission to visit every National Park!), sipping coffee with my husband, watercoloring with friends, or hanging out with my 3 cats: Loki, Maisey and Onyx. :)
