For Kate Koeppel, her business was born out of a slow-growing realization of self-worth and recognition of her own unique skill sets in graphic and product design. By the time she graduated from the California College of Arts with a master’s in design in 2011, she still had never worked an office job in her chosen specialty. It was something she felt self-conscious about, and she even felt like a failure. “I?d mostly always worked for myself — but that didn?t seem like valuable experience at the time,” Kate shares. Ruminating on the many hats she’d worn in her working life — solo artist, designer, freelancer — Kate took the leap into starting her own graphic design studio in 2011. “My design studio focuses on print and branding projects primarily for small, lady-run businesses with a focus on health, wellness and creative industries. In 2013 I began designing and manufacturing physical products, because I generally assume I can learn how to do anything (especially if I don?t already know how complicated it is going to be). Now about 70% of my work week is spent on the product side of my design studio.”...
