Meet Kat Dill
Creative Catalyst. Story-Driven Designer. Strategic Dream-Chaser.
After years in a demanding career in mental health, I retired in 2011 — not to slow down, but to realign. I went back to school, earning an A.A.S. in Management (2012) and a B.S. in Business Management (2014) from S.U.N.Y., with a minor in internet marketing and web design. That’s when the spark ignited: I knew I wanted to design for a living — not just manage an office.
A Pivot to Purpose
After relocating to Loveland, Colorado, I immersed myself in volunteer work, helping small businesses and community events build their presence online. As part of a grassroots social media team, we grew our Facebook audience to over 21,000 followers and supported countless local events and causes.
I also served as a public information officer and national digital volunteer for a well-known nonprofit, learning not just about digital storytelling — but also how online platforms can isolate and overwhelm. I stepped away from social media roles and returned to college with one goal: to design with purpose.
Design Was Calling
What started with a love of photography led me to dive deep into the world of visual communication. I studied Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and more — earning three certificates and an A.A.S. in Graphic Design, graduating with honors from Front Range Community College in 2022.
During my final year, I collaborated with a Capstone team to plan and promote a student art show, interned with Full Circle Creative, and participated in the student-run Graphic Design Agency — all while continuing to refine my style, skills, and voice as a designer.
A Little More About Me
I live in Loveland, Colorado with my partner Robert and our slightly spoiled fur kids. You'll find me enjoying all the outdoors has to offer in Northern Colorado, either on my bicycle or on foot, with a furry friend.
