Hello, I am Katie, I run Own Way Studio. My designs are clean, contemporary, professional, bold, and innovative. I specialise in branding and logo designs including brand positioning and identity, visual design, website and creative design for print.
Design is largely about problem solving. My focus is always to create designs which appeal to your users. I always strive for my design to be simple but clever, engaging but simple.
Graduating in 2008 from Cumbria Institute of the arts with a BA in Graphic Design I went on to work for a number of award winning design agencies in Glasgow, Edinburgh and London. In 2017 I started Own Way, now working direct with my clients. Working on creative projects for a range of industries and disciplines.

A few words from my clients
-
I needed a brand identify and logo. Katie guided me through the process with some really sound advice, some questions I would never have thought of and she came up with a great set of images. They really suit my business and the image I’m hoping to project.

After ten years in business the process was obviously extremely important to us, and also very personal. Katie was a pleasure to work with and made the process enjoyable. We’re really pleased with the new logo and website – it’s exactly what we wanted.

Katie has just finished the branding for my new fencing venture and I’m absolutely over the moon with the results. She has clearly put a great deal of thought into the process of finding out what my vision for the brand is and the end result really shows this. I’ve no hesitation in recommending Own Way to anyone wanting unique, premium branding.
