I have worked with Katie for almost two years now on several business ideas and projects and have been able to see her work grow and evolve into so many different areas. Whatever dream I had in my head, Katie was able to make it a reality and went above and beyond to make sure it was perfect! I absolutely love working with her too – through the work – we became great friends and I know I can always count on her. I have worked with other designers on smaller projects, but nobody will ever compare to Katie’s professionalism and attention to detail. I recommend her to everyone that is looking for high-quality work and I will continue working with her for years to come!

Katie is always incredible to work with. Not only her creative skills are amazing, but her project management skills are impressive. She has created several outstanding branding assets for Ignite Publishing and helped me to improve my work strategy. She's fast, professional, and always willing to help and make your work process faster and more effective. It is a pleasure for me to work with Katie and I am looking forward to create my further projects with her.

The amount of information Katie was able to provide. The tones of colors, the vibration of the colors, what colors work with what color fonts, I mean, wow! I would definitely recommend your services. The amount of information and dedication your company supplies is outstanding! I believe it’s worth it.

When I started speaking with Katie, she made me feel very comfortable and was so excited to see what I did, especially my postings on Instagram. She was honest and direct, but in a kind a way to let me know what works and what wasn’t working. I love people who are straightforward and honest. She has integrity and you can tell when she speaks to you how much she enjoys what she does. I would love to work with Katie again.

Katie was a great partner on a quick turnaround project with many iterations. She understood our vision for the project and was able to help us articulate it through design. Her positive, get it done attitude and approach are infectious.

Ms. Smetherman took my poorly executed simple logo, and transformed it into an amazing piece of art I am proud to show my customers and attach to all my products. She was with us every step of the way with ideas, suggestions, and different color schemes until she created something truly unique for our small business.

~ Guillermo Wilkinson

Katie is an extremely talented with a rare dedication and pride in her work not found in most designers. She has a brilliant knack for branding guidelines, taking branding far beyond logo design and creating a true long-term system and brand experience. Katie works well with others and isn’t afraid to step up and manage processes to get deliverables out the door.

I highly recommend Katie and am absolutely honored to have worked with her.

I would highly recommend Brand Studio Creative for all of your branding, marketing and design needs for your online presence. From concept development through to completion of the product, Katie and her team ensure that you are supported, heard, and part of the process. This was an extremely positive experience for me.

She is beyond knowledgeable and helpful. She provided me with links and information to help me become more competent and aware in the areas that were stressful for me. She is so creative and talented and really helped me to develop my bigger picture for my website and then brought it to fruition.
