About Kat
I am a designer and creator with a passion for service and community.
My Mission
I help businesses and non-profits grow through a focus on the right branding and strategic planning.
With over a decade of experience, I have worked as both an employee and consultant for top design / build firms, start-ups and local organizations. During these last ten years here in Maine, it has been my passion to help local businesses and non-profits grow through a focus on the right branding and strategic planning. I offer services for organizations in various industries and financial states, working closely to adhere to budgets and tight timelines.
I get it. And I want to help.

Kat Kranich Wojcik, founder
I want to help you.
Yes, I can balance your accounts and do some calculus, but what really stuck with me from business school was learning a unique problem-solving process and viewing a challenge from multiple stakeholder vantage points. I connect my knowledge of human behavior, psychology, computer science and economics with my design process so that I can offer solutions and strategies that consider the obvious and not-so-obvious variables.
In 2008, I graduated from university into an economy that had just imploded, and pivoted from a future in finance to a future I had to create from scratch. And I’ve been creating ever since.
When I’m not at my laptop, you can find me chasing around my bookish and delightful daughter and son, doting on my hero husband, or climbing mountains whenever I get the chance.
Just for fun

Fun Fact: I have Synesthesia- a neurological condition where information meant to stimulate one of your senses stimulates several of your senses. Since I was a child, numbers and letters have always had innate “colors” assigned to them, and I memorized multiplication tables by color. Math has always been very distracting to me for this reason.
