Hey you, it’s me…

I'm Katie Emslie, creative strategist and designer. I help small businesses access expert design without needing a full creative team.

I help established solopreneurs and small teams transform their ideas into polished, bespoke visuals that stand out and connect with their audience.

I've worked in corporate, in agencies, and with small businesses. I know what it's like to build something from the ground up and have experienced great support and encouragement from others along the way. Now, I like to pass on the same to the people in my world!
