Profile
My name is Katarina Birkmaier. I graduated from Farmingdale State College with a degree in Visual Communications: Graphic Design. Being creative has always been a part of my life and I found that Graphic Design is the perfect discipline of balancing art and problem-solving skills.
I have experience in print and digital advertising, logo design and menu design. Experience working for a variety of clients from different industries has made me an adaptable designer. I am the most passionate about logo design and being able to visualize a concept from start to finish is a rewarding process.
Being open to learning new things is integral in this industry and I am excited to learn different programs as I grow as a designer. I have experience in editing websites in Squarespace and Wix and I look forward to learning more about website design.
