Finding the right combination of smarts, experience and talent is very difficult. I interviewed a dozen or so graphic designers before settling on Kate, and had not regretted it. We'd been working together on a monthly basis for over 3 years had been a real asset for me and my business. She is both creative and problem solver, all while keeping the balance of aesthetics and marketing in the forefront. I highly recommend her and am sure that you'll love her work as well.
Working with Kate has been wonderful for our organization. We don’t have an in-house graphic designer, so we turn to her often for small projects, including items such as our annual report, event logos and brochures. She listens carefully when we describe our design intent and produces beautiful work that is affordable and always within our deadline. I highly recommend her services!
Kate has helped me with creating a business logo, gift certificates, door signs, email promotions and business cards. She is absolutely a pleasure to work and the final results always blows my mind.
I have known Kate since about 2010 and have worked with her every year on an annual project. I always look forward to our collaboration because Kate is a total pleasure to work with. We often have a starting idea and she is always respectful of it but uses her own experience and talent to come up with creative options taking our seed idea beyond our expectations. She is efficient and responsive and very good at her job. I have recommended her to several people and they have all been impressed with her work. Kate has a wonderful disposition and is a pleasure to be around. I feel lucky to work with her every year.
Kate was recommended to me by a friend and I have since recommended her to several of my own clients. Finding a graphic designer who can really match the company’s style instead of imposing their own can be difficult. Although we are each happy with our results, you would never know they were all done by the same designer and I think that is a huge win. I will continue to recommend Kate and honestly that is my highest compliment.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kate on several projects, but most particularly on an annual nature calendar. Not only is she a pleasure to work with, I was always impressed at her creativity. Each calendar she designed for us had a very different look.
Kate has been the greatest find! She began by refreshing our website and old logo, giving gave us a platform to launch from with other collateral , employee uniform and fleet design. She is super fast, super efficient and highly responsive. I recommend her highly!
Thanks for your help in making this years sinus course at Virginia Mason such a success! Your work on our program and brochure was fabulous – we appreciate all of your time and energy.
I have to tell you… we have been getting the greatest compliments about the branding and roll-out of this new program. “Brilliant” is my favorite comment so far 🙂 There is so much hope an anticipation around the future of what we are doing. Thanks for all your work! It’s really good stuff.
Kate Rappe’ (CMYKate) has definitely checked all the boxes with our website. We went from an extremely outdated website to a fully fledged professional, eye popping site that receives more compliments and traffic than ever. I will continue to contract Kate for her professional services for many years to come.
My team loves working with Kate. She’s helped us create campaign logos, brochures, and annual reports on time and under budget. Kate patiently and skillfully helps navigate our team’s competing design interests and goals to create materials that everyone is proud to stand behind.
Thank you for designing our very first 5K shirt. I really love the design – you captured it beautifully with the runner/horse for the “walk, run or trot”. I appreciate your support and donation. Stay healthy and safe.
Thank you so much for all of your amazing , talented guidance and vision. I love having a logo and it makes me smiile everytime I see it!
Just got the cards and they look wonderful – modern, bold and descriptive. Thanks so much Kate.
Kate has been my design and production partner for over twenty years. As a fine art photographer and publisher of branded custom corporate print media, and retail photographic publications, she has been an integral part of my success, bringing innovative design ideas and concepts into print reality. She is a pleasure to work with and is always a good sounding board to my new ideas by helping further refine and develop them. I have been blessed to have the wonderful artistic and design skills that Kate brings to every new project and I look forward to many more!
I would HIGHLY recommend CYMKate Designs for any type graphic, print, design, website work you may have. I’ve hired Kate for a variety of projects while at CRG Events and Microsoft and she has always produced amazing work that I was extremely happy with. She’s so easy to work with and always provides you with an end result that is above and beyond what you were expecting. Kate is a terrific person to partner with on any type of project you may have.
I’ve dreaded refreshing my website - for YEARS - and working with Kate has completely transformed my dread into delight. I am so happy with what she created and the process was smooth, responsive, and even, yes, fun.
Kate Rappe with CMYKate has been a key contributor to the success of Transformational Psychiatry. She has helped us successfully build with a branding, website, marketing strategies and more. She draws from a wealth of experience, knowledge, natural abilities and talent. Couldn't recommend her more!
Next has been working with CMYKate Designs since before I came onboard and I can see why. More than two years later Kate is still my go to for all design needs. She has done our quarterly newsletters, our Gala Invitations and Save the Dates as well as brochures for us in English and Spanish! We could not be more pleased with her work and reasonable pricing and definitely recommend her for any graphic design needs.
Kate is an amazing talent and I’m so grateful to have her guidance and expertise in designing and creating our packaging. We always get great comments from client about how much they like our “look.” Kate is responsible for that look and I really enjoy working with her. And yes, I give her samples.
I read through the latest issue of the magazine this morning and was impressed. I loved the balance of member highlights, benefit offerings, and substantive articles on educational program evaluation and foresight. Thank you for all you do. Please pass my compliments on to your team.
You are amazing. Truly, I’m so excited about the work we’ve done so far on the logo and business cards. Thank you!!
Kate – I just wanted to thank you again for your work on the KKids graphics and pass along the compliments I received regarding how good our sign and banner looked at the Stephanie’s Day event. Many families commented and event photographer asked if he could take a picture and said how much he loved the design.
Kate is responsive and a delight to work with. Her redesign of our annual report is bright and fresh. As she updates the design for us year after year, we still get compliments on the look and layout. We love her work, and appreciate her creativity, communication, and partnership to ensure we get what we need.
Kate was responsive and delivered a quick turnaround on the work. What I most appreciated about Kate was her interest in understanding the vibe of my business and ensuring our branding reflected that.
