Senior Designer & Illustrator

"I managed Katy Adams as a Senior Creative Designer at Farmers, and she's one of the most talented designers I've worked with in my 20+ years in this industry. She moves easily between UX/UI, illustration, and brand design, and she's just as strong in print as she is in digital.

What I appreciated most is that her work wasn't just beautiful, it also delivered results. Her email and landing page designs consistently drove higher conversion rates, and her concepts scored well in both quantitative and qualitative research with our target customers. That combination of strong craft and real business impact is what help drive Farmers recent profitable growth.

She was also a genuine collaborator. Clients trusted her instincts, and her fellow designers valued working with her just as much. Katy never kept her process to herself either, she'd walk teammates through her thinking and document her approach so others could learn from it, which raised the level of the whole team.

On top of that, she never stopped growing. She sought out new skills deliberately, focusing on the ones that mattered most to where the company was headed, and brought that same curiosity to her work every day.

Katy is a rare combination of strong craft, measurable impact, and genuine collaboration. Any team or client would be fortunate to work with her, and I recommend her without a doubt. "

"Katy and I teamed up on a bunch of different projects for many years. She is an amazing hardworking professional, a talented and knowledgeable creative designer, who never stops learning - new software, evolving trends, better processes. And even more, she’s been a great team player - both supportive and encouraging for other colleagues. Always a pleasure to work with."

"I recommend Katharine for any team or project that values creative problem solving, strong communication skills, and a fearless attitude. During our time at Farmers, she was not afraid to speak out and advocate for what she believes is right. Her enthusiasm for learning and growing is infectious, inspiring those around her to constantly strive for improvement."

"Katy has an incredible thirst for knowledge that is nothing short of amazing. Katy doesn't stop learning and growing her skillset. She takes courses on her free time and reads everything and anything she can get her hands on. This educational quest makes Katy a huge asset to any organization. She never settles and always wants to reach for higher goals improving her work even more. Katy is an incredibly skilled illustrator, designer, and artist, and any team would be lucky to have her."

"I was a graphic design client of Katy for several years at Farmers. She worked to provide us with great graphic design work for our sponsorship events. Working with Katy was an enjoyable process because professional, prompt and organized. She was a good communicator that provided regular updates and sought out creative feedback from her clients. She's a skilled designer and regularly would provide options that were based on feedback and then often entirely new ideas for us to react to and consider. I believe she would be a tremendous asset for next team and make her clients completely satisfied."

"I worked with Katy for many years at Farmers Insurance. She is one the the most dedicated designers I have ever worked with. She is very talented in all areas of design , but especially at illustrations. She can draw anything and translate it into a perfectly branded piece for any type of product. She really cares about design and how it will be used to help companies succeed. Any company or organization would be lucky to have her."
