OUR MISSION

Hi! I’m Kate. As the founder of 1961, I’m a creator driven by a deep, intrinsic passion for design. From a young age, I’ve been captivated by how visuals shape emotions and tell stories. My approach is rooted in intuition, understanding the essence of each brand and translating that into designs that speak volumes. With a deep passion for creativity, I craft visuals that not only look beautiful, but feel personal and meaningful.

What sets me apart is my dedication to authenticity and a personal approach to each project. I work closely with clients, understanding their vision and crafting designs that feel meaningful and impactful.

Let’s make waves!

LET’S WORK TOGETHER.
