I am a senior graphic designer and art director specializing in environmental graphic design, interpretive storytelling, and publication design for mission-driven organizations. My work connects people to culture, science, and nature through spatial experiences and inspiring brand environments.
I use human-centered design thinking to create work that resonates with audiences and motivates action. I thrive on the process and strategy, constantly asking “why” to translate complex ideas into clear, intuitive experiences across physical and visual environments. My goal is to foster connection, spark curiosity, and encourage engagement.

Testimonials
“I had the ability to work closely with Kate on many projects over my years in University Advancement, and her creativity constantly amazes me. She has a real talent for taking the broad, big ideas and turning them into something beautiful and unexpected.
For Ramily, our team was tasked to create a brand-new event for high-profile audiences featuring CSU’s new SPUR campus.
Kate didn’t just design something polished – she brought an unexpected, edgy vibe that made the event stand out. Starting from a blank slate, she built a bold, cohesive visual identity that captured attention and sparked conversation. It was fresh, daring, and exactly what we needed to break away from the traditional look!”
– Katy DeJonge, Director of Presidential Engagement, Co-Advisor - Presidential Ambassadors, University Marketing and Communications"Kate Wyman is an exceptional graphic designer and art director whose creativity, professionalism, and strategic approach consistently elevate our work. From Around the Oval magazine to digital displays, donor impact reports, and environmental installations for events and public spaces,
Kate brings stories to life through thoughtful, emotionally resonant design. She has a remarkable ability to translate complex or deeply personal narratives into visuals that engage audiences and enhance the message at every level.
Kate's design work doesn't just communicate – it inspires. She's a creative partner whose talent and professionalism make a lasting difference on every project she touches."
— Ben Fogelberg, retired Managing Director of Marketing and Communications, University Advancement, Colorado State University“Previously, as Kate’s supervisor, I had the privilege of watching her elevate every project she touched. Working with Kate means your organization will grow – creatively, strategically, and with purpose – because her designs consistently combine aesthetic excellence with a deep understanding of context, messaging, and impact.
Kate brings far more than award-winning design talent; she is a witty, kind, values-driven collaborator who approaches environmental and brand challenges with empathy, intelligence, and vision.
Her leadership in multi-dimensional storytelling makes brands not only more engaging but also more human and sustainable. Any team would be fortunate to have her.”
