hello@katiedixondesign.com
I am a practicing Art Director currently at Free Agency Creative, a Branding and Design studio located in Vancouver, BC. With over 10 years of experience working in the field of design, I have worked across a variety of disciplines, including: branding, art direction, digital and website design, print design, and environmental design.
Working as an Art Director I have collaborated with vendors and overseen teams of designers to shape content strategy, guide asset development, and deliver creative, consistent identity applications for projects across multiple industries. I’ve been described as a keen collaborator with a curiosity for new processes and an excitement for engaging with diverse perspectives.
Outside of work, I’m usually chasing fresh air or a good beat. I spend a lot of time hiking local trails with my pup and getting out on my bike—especially for longer touring trips where the journey (and ice cream stops) matter more than the destination. Another outdoor escape is my garden, essentially an excuse to play in the dirt.
Departure is fairly recent side project, a collaborative effort focused on community through music-led events. It’s a space to experiment, shape atmosphere, and bring people together around sound and shared energy.
