A month in my mind...November 2021
This is the first of my monthly blogs. I thought it would be a good way to showcase the things I get up to each month, client work, my own personal work and things that have inspired me.
A month in my mind…
Client Work
I have been beavering away on a set of GIF’s for a regular client, Front Row Fitness. Working on bespoke Social Media tile designs and story templates for a new client in the Garden Design industry. I have been designing a report for a company in the events industry… It honestly makes me so happy knowing that a piece of information is delivered in a visually engaging way (would love to show this but the information is confidential). Working on planning, creating and scheduling monthly social content for The Lily Mae Foundation.
Below are two pieces of client work that made me very happy in November.
The Lily Mae Foundation
Project: Bespoke Social Media Tile
This tile has been designed for people who do not want to send Christmas cards but would like to donate the money they would have spent in memory of their precious baby.
Front Row Fitness
Project: GIF Stickers
Creating a set of branded GIF stickers for Front Row Fitness. These GIF stickers are a fun way for any brand to add branded personality to their stories on Instagram or you can use them on TIK TOK.
“Kat has produced so many amazing designs for many different projects. All requiring different ideas and skills, whilst still incorporating our brand.”

Illustrations (doodles), Personal Work
Greenhouse Artprint
If you are not aware I love gardening, it is where I take myself away when my mind feels a bit too much. I am not a fan of sheds or greenhouses… but a greenhouse like this would definitely get my approval :)
From sketching…
Feeling cozy: Woolly hats are so satisfying to draw :)
To final illustration
The final illustration has been created in Procreate on my iPad. I find drawing on the iPad so relaxing and I am normally sat with it most evenings.

What makes me tick
I love keeping notes of things that excite, inspire and set my world on fire, whether thats a magazine designed beautifully, podcasts, beautiful packaging, or a colour that catches my eye.
Below are things that have really inspired me this month.

Middle image: Being able to share my love for art with our daughter is a truly wonderful experience. We used Posca pens to decorate our leaves.
Right image: I came across 91 magazine when me and my husband stayed in Bath recently, this magazine was an instant hit with me, it is full of independent gorgeous businesses.
DO YOU HAVE A PROJECT IN MIND?
If you like what I get upto and think that I would be a good fit for your business, I would love to hear from you whether it is for Design, Illustration or GIF creations.
