On Set Katie
Hi friend. I’m Katie, a full-time art director, photographer, and videographer. Essentially, I get to come up with ideas and turn visions into tangible, aesthetically-pleasing reality for brands like CVS, Slack, Cracker Barrel, and Citizens of Humanity.
My creative approach —no matter the medium— is to find points of tension behind the idea I’ve been assigned or am interested in. I do several iterations on each point and usually end up refining the one I find most controversial. It’s a way to plant a little bit of desire in their hearts; a yearning to turn the page and learn more about your idea. Ultimately, it’s about creating memorable images.
When I’m not directing people on sets at the day job, I’m chasing my camera around the country—in part to satisfy my travel bug and in other part to work with other cool creative people and brands. If you’re one of those people or brands, slide into my emails—let’s make something together.
Specialty industries include (but are not limited to): commercial lifestyle, product, travel, and music.
Street cred: Saatchi & Saatchi, CVS, Nike, Slack, Deloitte, Mars, Citizens of Humanity, Singer, Manchester Orchestra, Franke, wildsam, Tennessee Valley Authority, Bridgestone, Cracker Barrel, redpepper
