About



Thoughtful Design. Practical Solutions. Stronger Connections.
I'm Katie Kersten, owner of Kersten Creative, a creative problem solver who believes good design does more than look good. It clarifies ideas, tells meaningful stories, and helps organizations connect with the people who matter most.
With a background in design and marketing for the architecture and engineering industries, I bring a research-driven, strategic approach to branding, marketing materials, and photography. I combine creative thinking with practical problem-solving to develop visual solutions that reflect each client’s goals, communicate clearly, and work across multiple platforms.
I thrive on collaboration, building relationships, and finding fresh perspectives on familiar challenges. Whether I'm working with a small business, nonprofit, or consulting firm, I take the time to understand different viewpoints, ask thoughtful questions, and turn complex ideas into clear, compelling visuals. I'm especially drawn to work that strengthens communities, supports sustainability, and helps purpose-driven organizations make a meaningful impact.
At the heart of it all, I genuinely enjoy helping people bring their ideas to life. My goal is to make the creative process collaborative and rewarding, delivering thoughtful, high-quality work that meets your needs and gives you the confidence to share your story.

Why all the bees? . . .
I’m fascinated by pollinators, especially bees, and the important role they play in keeping our ecosystems healthy. As I work toward my Master Gardener certification, I’m continually amazed by how such a small insect can have such a big impact. Take buzz pollination, for example! I’m drawn to that contrast between their tiny size and their outsized influence.
I love exploring, creating, and connecting with the world around me, whether that means supporting local small businesses, getting my hands dirty in the garden, experimenting in the kitchen, or traveling whenever I can. And there’s nothing better than a new adventure with my husband and our lovable Lab mix, who keeps us active and always ready to explore.
