Hi, friends! I’m Catalina, but you can call me Cat! I am a Digital & Graphic Designer at YDM.

I have a blast creating brand identities for our amazing clients, along with designing social graphics, print and web assets—and recently diving into designing websites in XD. As an artist, I particularly love being able to draw one-of-a-kind and standout illustrations!

After graduating from Winthrop University with a degree in Visual Communications, I spent a couple of years at a design agency doing a little bit of everything. I was on the production team for two local magazines, supporting our clients in marketing and design needs, and was able to explore my interest in stop-motion animations and staging/photography. Phew!

Since moving to Charlotte in 2021 from central South Carolina, I have been #blessed to focus on what I really love doing—creating brands from scratch. I live for diving into those tiny details and making sure all the brand elements vibe together flawlessly.

Where can you find me off the clock? Catch me at the local thrift stores (yes, plural, you can’t just go to one). Other than that, I spend my time out with friends and family—dancing or chatting over a meal. I try to travel often, mostly to nature sites or historical places. And my favorite way to relax is to put on a good movie!
