About-Me_Right-Side.jpg

I am your
designer.

Hi, I'm Kat Bauer!

Born on the Jersey Shore, educated in Brooklyn, lived in LA, worked in NYC, and now finally settled in Ottawa. Phew, that was a mouthful.

I discovered my passion for design while growing up on the Jersey Shore, which is definitely better than the tv show. Being so close to NYC, it's no surprise that I ended up living and studying design there.

​

I am a graduate of Pratt University in Brooklyn, NYC and I have a BFA in Communications Design (Advertising, Graphic Design, & Illustration).

​

After working for years in NJ/NYC I eventually wandered into the great white north and I was introduced to the Ottawa printing industry.

​

For years I worked at a print shop in downtown Ottawa, where I've gained expert knowledge of printing materials and design for print. Since then, I have collaborated with many local shops to deliver quality product and installs.

​

Today, when I'm not living at a hockey rink with the kids, I live in my Orléans home with my husband, four kids, & three dogs. And although I've been in Canada for years I am still searching for some comparable NYC pizza. Any recommendations?
