Precision. Our team is comprised of the best of the best—a carefully curated network of highly experienced specialists, including photographers, videographers, developers, UX experts, accessibility professionals, and other creative partners. For every project, we cherry-pick the right team based on expertise, experience, perspective, and the specific needs of the client and the work.
Rather than relying on a fixed staff or one-size-fits-all approach, we assemble exactly the right combination of talent for each project. This gives clients access to exceptional professionals without the cost and overhead of a large agency, while ensuring every project benefits from the specialized knowledge and experience it requires.
This model allows us to keep our overhead lean while being highly selective about the clients and projects we take on. We intentionally limit our commitments so that every client receives our utmost attention, focus, and care. We believe that’s what our clients deserve—and it’s our promise to them.
The result is a nimble, highly specialized team built around the client—not a predetermined agency structure. The right people. The right expertise. The right amount of attention. Every time.

The team at KTD Creative are wonderful! Their attention to detail and follow up cannot be beat. They would constantly check in to make sure everything was going great, and I think they were more excited than I was when the invitations they designed were sent out. The entire team shares an enthusiasm and strong work ethic and they really make you feel part of their family.
We’ve hired KTD Creative on a range of large- and small-scale design projects over the past year, and their ability to pivot and scale to meet our evolving needs has been outstanding. We also engaged Kate as a Communications Consultant, and she seamlessly integrated with our team—navigating multiple deadlines and shifting priorities with professionalism and ease. Working with KTD Creative has been a consistently positive experience, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again (and again, and again)!
We hired KTD Creative to design a special report for us. This was something new for our nonprofit organization. The team was generous with their time giving us great concepts and very patient when we had to extend our timeline. I highly recommend KTD Creative for their listening skills, creative ideas and professionalism throughout the process.
I had a wonderful experience with the KTD Creative team. They were extremely professional throughout the process with timely responses and clarity about the entire process from signing the contract to the delivery of the designs. This was my first time working with a professional design firm and they were generous with their time while educating me about best practices and advocating for my program. I would highly recommend KTD Creative!
I am delighted with the WordPress website design development process and the finished product. KTD Creative made a less than aesthetically pleasing business look great on the web! More importantly, they kept us on task and moved the project to completion despite our best efforts to derail their schedule. Kudos to KTD Creative. I can’t wait to work with them again.
We hired KTD Creative to design our WordPress website. This has been one of the best return on investments for our company. The site was designed so that we have easy methods to do our own updates as we add projects and other information. We have had nothing but rave reviews about the appearance and content of the site.
Working with Kate and the KTD Creative team was an absolute pleasure! Our project needed to be completed within a very short time frame, and the team worked with us to get the materials turned around quickly. The final products were absolutely beautiful and will be used by our organization for years to come. I couldn’t recommend KTD enough!
I was referred to KTD Creative with the understanding that the team were gifted artists with a lot of experience. I was told that they were very good at creating concepts, branding and logos. Now that we have completed a project together, I am the one singing KTD’s praises.
We were at the beginning of a full scale website redesign for WYPR 88.1 FM. Part of the launch included a new logo. KTD Creative helped to redesign the logo and to give our Drupal site a new design that exceeded our expectations. The web design is just what we wanted. We could not be happier with the results. KTD is a professional team that was able to deliver the final product ahead of schedule.
I’ve worked with the KTD team on several projects and they are always very responsive to my needs and to the smallest of details. I highly recommend them!
KTD Creative has been our go-to source for print and web projects when fresh ideas and creative design were top priorities. They always set realistic and clear expectations, goals, and timelines. They were always responsive and ready to answer questions and explain their recommendations. As a repeat customer, I would not hesitate to go back to them again.
Our partnership (because Kate and her team of talented designers really do become partners in creating a visual story for your organization) began with a topical report that was so well done that we continue to collaborate 4 years later. We have done annual reports, topical reports, brochures, and video production. KTD Creative has helped create a visual branding for Farmworker Justice which has received excellent feedback from stakeholders and various federal agencies. KTD is a pleasure to work with and the team’s ability to translate ideas into high-quality, edgy graphics makes my job as a communications director so much easier (and makes me look good)!
Our Private Equity firm hired KTD Creative to prepare a marketing PowerPoint deck for one of our foreign companies. The KTD team transformed a technically complex concept into a beautiful, crisp presentation with complex illustrations and information graphics that is easily understood across borders. KTD cares about their clients, as most of this work was completed during a tight deadline around the holidays. We look forward to working with them again.
Our nonprofit organization hired KTD Creative to design a handbook. We had never produced anything like it. The team was patient in the face of our extending deadlines and stayed in great touch with us for all of the revisions.
From the very beginning, I knew working with KTD would be different from working with any other designers! Not only was the process of developing our logo professional, it also had a very personal touch that truly showed through in the uniqueness of our logo. During our first session, Kate and her team conducted thorough interviews to find themes, colors, and imagery that finally concluded in the perfect logo for our company Half Hearted Fully Conscious. The logo is AMAZING and has the perfect appeal for the apparel that will be the first product of our lifestyle brand! Kate and team literally blew us away with this design and we are very happy with the logo and the decision to work with KTD. We will definitely work with KTD in the future.
The quality of both the design work and the review/edit process is a cut above the competition! KTD Creative has become the National Dissemination Center for Children with Disabilities’ trusted source for high-quality design for both print and interactive projects. KTD’s web development team also came through for our project in a pinch when we needed additional support in addressing WordPress website maintenance issues.
