executive summary
my name is kathleen de la llata, and i am a creative and versatile multidisciplinary designer based in austin, texas. i bring a wealth of experience across various design disciplines, including graphic design, social media content design, print design, web design, ui/ux, and branding. i have created magazines for ut’s college of liberal arts donors and alumni, supported ui and ux development for websites, software, and applications, and dabbled in photography and photo editing.
after graduating from a design program at the university of texas, i spent over three years at the startup design company daito design, where i worked remotely while building and refining my design skills. during this time, i collaborated with fortune 500 companies, streamlined client deck creation, and helped shape the early years of a new agency. this experience taught me to take initiative, manage responsibilities, thrive in fast-paced environments, and navigate adversity.
these skills have provided a solid foundation for the past two years of my freelance career. i aspire to work with a creative team where we can connect, exchange ideas and inspiration, and create innovative designs together.
