The above digital postcard is a collection of my paintings of my rescue doggies and me (clockwise: Sparky, Chiquita, me, Macho, Bookie and Bobo Bubbly). The digital paintings were done in Procreate for the iPad. I was photographed by my friend Charmaine Cruz at Into Life Photography.
I am Katharine Murta Adams, but you can call me Katy.
I am a Visual Alchemist and Storyteller, as well as a Senior Creative Designer, UX Designer, Illustrator and Artist.
And, a Mother of Dogs.
What does that all mean?
It means I love the magic of blending the technical with the creative.
I draw on my iPad, and design with Adobe Illustrator/Adobe InDesign/Figma; I implement SAFe Agile principles, fool around with code; and remain a creative rebel.
I love learning. And storytelling.
And doggies. I love doggies. Trust me on that one.
I have spent years working as a Senior Creative Designer, with expertise in creating and directing in-product media, designing and developing marketing material using Adobe Creative Cloud and Figma, as well as other software.
I possess strong knowledge of content engagement strategies to drive successful brand awareness and top-of-the-funnel customer journey mapping via various platforms.
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 Certification program (2022). I am also certified in SAFe as a Leading Agilist (2020) and as a POPM (2023).
See? I am a creative rebel.
