About me.
I'm Katie Toepp, a brand designer and web developer based in Kentucky, US. I work at the intersection of visual craft and systems thinking, for clients ranging from agency partners to advocacy organizations to mission-driven startups.
My background in fine art taught me that information has shape and consequence. That perspective shows up in everything I build.

Testimonials.
Tobi Osobkola
Owner, Fritters & Roast
Katie is the best graphic designer I have ever met. Her work with Fritters & Roast over the past 2 years has been awesome. When I was about to start out, she spent hours listening to me about my vision for the company, about Nigeria, and our culture and food, as well as tasting my various samples. She also did a lot of research on her own and would discuss her findings with me to be sure she was getting unbiased information. By the time we started designs — logo first — she was able to adequately capture the essence of the company. She worked with Stephen Gould to finalize the packaging design for our yam chips, and for the various juice labels, she put a system in place that captured the culture. I highly recommend her for her awesome work.
