Kate Bee Design Studio

Hello! I’m Kate.

Professional designer, painter, photographer.

Here are some of my recent works and some paintings which I usually do for fun.
Some projects reflect strong client’s influence on every stage, while concept and realization of others were completely delegated to my favour and taste.

20+ years in design, 10+ years of building and managing great teams and 5 years spent on factories in Europe and China supervising manufacturing of products I’ve created. All this helped me to obtain general understanding of how business works and how thoughtful design can help it to work better.

I’ll be happy to hear your thoughts, suggestions or contribute my vision, skills and experience to your project. Feel free to drop me a line by Email.

Thank you for coming!

EXPERTISE

Graphic design. Making ideas visible. Working inside your brand frame or creating a fresh one from scratch.

Illustration. Going out I can forget anything at home, except paper and pencil.

Branding. I am lucky to meet many good people doing things worth spreading a word about. Making that word look and sound interesting to the audience they seek attention of is the challenge I’m waiting for.

Product design. Bags, backpack, clothes, bikes, books, exhibition booths, web-sites, interiors… Idea, sketches, concept, technical documentation, manufacturing supervision on every step.

Packaging. From candy wrapper to bicycle box. From “for what?” and “for whom?” to the goods inside it.

Photography. Commercial sessions: setting, shooting, retouching. Social media daily content or fashion magazine cover page.

Pre-print. Know how to prepare anything for any publishing house. Spent some years inside publishing business. Prepared thousands of layouts for offset, flexo, digital printing, screen printing… name it.

Web. Basic understanding of web-site building principles and technologies. Familiar with no-code instruments enough to make multi-page site overnight for hypothesis testing.
