About the Designer

Hello, my name is Kaity

I fell in love with design while working on InDesign CS2 as the editor in chief of my high school yearbook. After chasing design both personally and professionally for many years, I finally got my s#*t together and graduated Summa Cum Laude from the Art Institute of Colorado with a BA in Graphic and Web Design.

I now work as a Designer at MATTER in Denver. Though I specialize in user interface design and the direction of digital media projects, I work in a variety of mediums, including print design, letterpress, product design, illustration, and hand lettering.

My design philosophy is rooted in the gestaltist notion that bringing together a variety of approaches, mediums and methods yields design which is meaningful and genuinely unique.

When I’m not working on a design project of some kind or other, you can find me listening to horror, sci-fi and fantasy audiobooks (and podcasts) with my cats, having 4 hour long phone conversations about philosophy with my Mom, or eating the best and weirdest food I can find with my favorite chef & husband Arun.
