ABOUT

HELLO! My name is Katie and I am a visual artist, arts educator, and as of July 3rd, 2018 an adoptive parent. My husband and I began our adoption journey in December of 2017. We matched and placed with a little boy in July of 2018. It was all quite a world wind!

When we began our adoption journey I became really overwhelmed with learning all the ins and outs of the adoption world, including what an adoption profile was. I had the design skills to create our profile book (I hold a Bachelor and Master in Fine Art), but became stressed about what specifics I was suppose to include. So, I decided to pay $700 to an organization to design our profile book. When we received our profile book I was unhappy with the result. It was not visually appealing, it had too much paragraphed text, the font type was difficult to read.

I decided that I would just take the hit of losing the $700 and finally design the adoption profile that I imagined. Since then, I have dedicated time outside of my full-time job in designing and re-designing adoption profile books for hopeful adoptive families. ​
