My name is Katherine Beuker (Snyder). You might also hear me called Kate or Kat.
Just going by K at first is easier.
I am a graphic designer who focuses on advertising, branding, digital, and print design.
In my personal work, I design patterns, often following optical illusion influences and often in black and white. When I'm not designing, I enjoy nature photography, playing piano, and cuddling with my three cats.
