Katelyn Lyonsteadt

I have always been creative and started with a traditional medium background in multiple mediums including painting, drawing and photography with a Bachelor of Arts Degree with an Extended Minor in Art. I later brought this into my digital art with a New Media and Web Development certificate from BCIT.

I love trying to incorporate traditional mediums or styles into my work as a Graphic Designer. I love creating designs that have a unique organic feel. I am currently looking for opportunities to do this with Logos, Branding, Marketing and Pattern design.
