Art Director & Graphic Designer

Hey, I’m Katie Mac, a multidisciplinary creative with over a decade of experience shaping brands with clarity and intentionality through graphic design, photography, and illustration.

I graduated from Florida State University with a degree in Advertising and Media Communications and shortly after became Lucky Goat Coffee’s first in-house graphic designer. As the company expanded, I stepped into an Art Director role developed around the creative needs of the brand, leading a team, and directing brand execution across all departments. I shaped and maintained the visual voice of the company while ensuring brand standards were both consistent and adaptable as the company continued to grow.

I currently work in a contract capacity with a Florida-based publishing company while continuing freelance design work. I bring a detail-oriented, process-driven approach to every kind of project, building thoughtful systems that support strong, ever-evolving brand standards.

I don’t believe in settling for good enough and care deeply about the work I create. I’ve built my career in collaborative, fast-paced environments where tight deadlines are the norm, and I consistently deliver polished, high-standard work without compromising quality. I’m currently seeking a full-time design role and open to relocation.

When I’m not exporting PDFs, you’ll find me in one of three book clubs, testing a new recipe, lifting weights, relaxing at the pool, planning a road trip, or working on my 2026 bingo card. I adore what I do, and I also believe in a life well lived beyond the screen.

Q&A

What type of project makes you feel energized?

What is something you've kept top secret from your team?

Feedback that makes you cringe?

Anything where I get to do research and/or catalogs and books. 

  • I hardly ever name my layers...

  • My Google search history contains many, "how to ___ in InDesign?"

"Can you make it pop more? There's just something missing but I'm not sure what."

Katie Mac's Bookshelf

✅ Kindle on the nightstand

✅ Audiobook in the car

✅ Paperback by the pool

My elementary school librarian used to say, "readers are leaders," so good luck catching me without a book.

Hot Take:

Judge a book by its cover!
