elevating your creative brand through considered design
My journey began with a deep appreciation for art and design. After years of education in business, with degrees in Business and a Master of Arts in Communications Technology, I sought a space to combine my business and creative expertise.
Since taking on my first design projects for friends and family in 2016, I’ve built a business rooted in the belief that impactful, artful solutions grow from authentic relationships and a deep understanding of my clients' needs.
As a chronically Type-B mom of four (including two wild twins), a wife to my best friend, and a master multitasker, I’m the heart and hands of each project that comes out of this studio, bringing ideas to life with creativity, strategy, and care. When I’m not designing, you might find me with my hands in the dirt of my cut flower garden, listening to a not-educational podcast (lately I'm loving Giggly Squad and Smartless), or enjoying a glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

I blend design and business expertise to craft visual brand identities that resonate with your audience and reflect your unique style. Every project is a personal investment, with the goal of equipping you with a brand toolkit that empowers and represents you authentically.
But I couldn't do it alone. The KJD team includes a network of independent and trusted creative partners— designers, web developers, illustrators, strategists, and copywriters—allowing us to assemble the right talent for each unique project and client.

"[kathlyn] completely elevated my business and transformed it to become something I am so proud of.
She created a brand that aligns with me and designed a website that has attracted the clients I've always hoped for. My booking rate has increased significantly since working with Kathlyn - I have almost booked out my entire 2025 wedding season since launching my website with her less than 2 months ago. I have already spoke her praises to so many businesses and can't wait to continue to do so.
