A little bit about myself... I was born in Edmonton, Alberta, the year PacMan was released. After 10 days we moved to Vancouver Island, British Columbia, where I had a pretty normal childhood; making movies with my cat, playing in the costume cupboard backstage, looking up to my older brother and whatnot. I later moved to Vancouver to study Fashion Design and slowly discovered I enjoyed designing and laying out my presentations more than illustrating models and drafting patterns. I did manage, however, to design and construct a successful 9 piece collection and received the Artistic Acheivement Award. After Graduating I decided to continue my design education but focus on Graphic Design. I completed 2 years of my Communication Design degree on Vancouver Island then moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia, to study at the prominent Nova Scotia College of Art & Design University. During my years there I was able to dabble in many areas of art and design including photography, silkscreening, and letterpress. I developed a strong interest in type design while experimenting with traditional letterpress technology and lead type and decided to write my thesis on the intellectual property rights inherent in typeface design. For my graduation exhibition I designed an entire typeface called Giant that was able to interact and form dozens of ligatures. I also collaborated on our visual identity, Consume This, from concept development to visualization and as a class we raised over $5000 towards our exhibition costs. I recently moved to Toronto after an amazing 4 months in NY and am currently working on some freelance projects and exploring this great city. I would like to gain enough experience (and money) to move back to NY one day but in the meantime, I am always available for any freelance (or more permanent) work and always eager and interested in meeting like-minded people. So if you know any, or are one, please feel free to contact me. And if you're looking for someone who is passionate, hard-working and detail oriented to come up with creative solutions please feel free to download my resume or email me at katherine@kdpatton.com. |
