Hello Katy is an independent design studio led by Katy, hello. 

I’ve worked with, for and even helped set up brands, agencies and projects worldwide. Teamed up with both Global big dogs and small businesses, iconic names and indie niches alike. I’ve won major clients and the odd award along the way, but I won’t name drop them here. (I will here though). 

The fame game isn’t where it’s at for me though. So, after climbing the career ladder long enough, I set out to build my own glorious mix of clients to keep my curiosity quenched and my creative spark lit. 

Now, I spend my time and design talents on producing vibrant ideas that capture the imagination, articulate meaning and ultimately connect people to brands, products and the purpose behind them.

That’s how I, Katy get my kicks.

Want to go backstage? Here’s a bit more about me and what makes me tick as a creative human.

 

Boldism®
is a thing

No one wants to be wallpaper. Why blend into the background when you can be bold? Express yourself with proper purpose, honesty and conviction. Bring your own joy to the world. A life lived in colour is the only way, in my opinion.

Live curious

My hunger to know more, come up with new ideas and and think different thoughts has my mind inquiring like an annoying toddler. How does that work? How was it made? What does it mean? What is it saying? Are we there yet?

Find Freedom

Creativity isn’t a 9-5 thing. To spark truly brilliant creative, you have to have the freedom to explore, be inspired and imagine beyond what’s possible. I switched up my lifestyle, finding a balance that brings focus on work that enriches me, while helping others articulate their passions in the process.

CLIMBING BOULDERS FOR INSPIRATIONAL IDEAS - IT WORKS, TRUST ME

More? You’re relentless. Here’s some random facts…

 

All. The. Outfits.

Two design degrees = Geek

Yep what a smarty pants. After studying 3D Interior Architecture at Lincoln University and working as a 3D designer, I completed another degree in Graphic Design at Leeds. Now after over 18 years in industry and working my way right up to Creative Director I can turn my hand to almost anything. I’ve learnt more than a trick or two let me tell you.

I Am a COMPLETE OUTFIT JUNKIE

Sequins, suits, sparkle, vintage, pre-loved, bespoke - you name it and I’m wearing it. My dressing room takes a beating on a regular basis and clients like to see what I’ll turn up in next. You’ll find more of that on the ‘gram.

I raced
banger cars

A petrol head? Guilty. Cars, bikes, F1, here for it all. I may have had a point or two on my licence but that’s all in the past. I learnt to ride a motorbike at 17 and the dream would to be an F1 driver. Move over Lewis.

I’m from Irish & Polish HERITAGE

Which makes for a rather beautiful ‘Heinz 57’ mix of two very lively and interesting backgrounds. I could speak Polish when I was little yes, I can’t anymore. A party animal you say? Sometimes. It’s in the blood.
