As a contract designer for Washington State Opportunity Scholarship (WSOS), I supported their mission to holistically support & empower students accessing STEM education and jobs.

Working across print and digital design, I created a variety of assets including annual reports, event collateral and digital templates for multiple audiences: the organization’s donors, and the students the programs serve.

Student-first design

The designs center WSOS’ diverse student community — celebrating BIPOC, first-generation, and rural students breaking barriers in STEM fields.

Shown are some of the many digital resources we created for students, with a focus on accessible design, legible typography, vibrant photography, and links to guide them through scholarship resources.

From the client:

Kat’s creative genius and immense talent made the WSOS brand what it is today. Her attention to detail, inspired ideas, and vision brought life and energy to so many of the events, reports, and collateral we created together over the years.

As a designer, she is the ultimate professional: easy to work with, flexible, patient, and communicative. I would highly recommend Kat to anyone.

Working with my go-to vendors, I designed & coordinated print projects including:

  • Annual impact reports

  • Event collateral

  • Promotional posters & brochures

  • Direct mail fundraising campaigns

  • Thank you cards & outreach materials

From press checks, selecting paper & finishes and preparing print-ready files, I managed the production process to deliver high-quality materials that communicate WSOS's impact to donors and partners.

Sustainable, on-brand solutions

Using Canva, I created a robust brand kit including customizable templates, brand color palette, fonts, photos and graphic elements like icons and backgrounds.

The brand kit empowers the marketing team to make consistent, on-brand updates as needed to engage with their student audience.
