MEET YOUR NEW GRAPHIC DESIGNER

Hello! I'm Kathryn Chong. 

I have over 14 years of graphic design under my belt and I'm ready to help problem solve for you. Browse through my portfolio and resume and if there is anything you like or have questions about, please contact me. I'd love to see where we can take your brand or project to the next level.

Portfolio

Before I was a designer I was an art student who lived in Photoshop. During high school, I grew out of my Photoshop shell and expanded my knowledge with the rest of the Adobe Creative Suite. 20 years later, I've become an art director and founder of Keep Designing, a growing design agency I started while freelancing, and a passionate senior graphic designer of a national credit union.

Resume

I love meeting new people and work well with others on a team or solo depending on the project, but I always value feedback. I am very organized and can balance multiple projects while staying on task and meeting my deadlines. Adapting to any environment (especially fast-paced) and working well under pressure is one of my many strengths. I find it necessary to research and follow current trends in graphic and web design before starting any project. It would be my pleasure to work with you.
