About me

I am Katharine Murta Adams, but you can call me Katy.

(If you would prefer to skip the introduction below and go straight to my LinkedIn, click here. If you want my ATS resume, scroll down.)

I am a Visual Alchemist that loves to tell stories. I create designs, illustrations, and motion graphics to elevate your brand, engage your audience, and bring tangible value to your business.

And I am a Mother of Doggies. I love doggies.

I draw on my iPad with Procreate and design with Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, Canva, and various other software. I tell narrative stories with Adobe AfterEffects/Premier. I implement SAFe Agile principles, fool around with code, and remain a creative rebel.

I follow all sorts of creative folk on social media, to continuously improve. I never want to stop learning.

As a Senior Designer, I have deep experience in content engagement strategies to drive successful brand awareness and top-of-the-funnel customer journey mapping to connect your brand to your target customers.

I am also passionate about understanding users’ needs and leveraging design thinking principles to craft meaningful and innovative digital experiences.
‍
I am certified in the Google UX Design Certificate Program (2022). I am also certified in SAFe as a Leading Agilist (2020) and as a POPM (2023).

I also passed the CBEST (California Basic Educational Skills Test) in 2025 for teaching.

See? I am a creative rebel.
