HI!

​

I'm Katelyn! I'm the owner, the hands and the heart behind this precious business of mine.

 

Growing up, there was nothing I loved more than to be making a mess - drawing, painting, building, sewing, sculpting, jewelry design, you name it.

 

While working at my last corporate job, I was introduced to the world of graphic design, branding and print; ultimately stumbling across a passion I never knew I had! I found the entire process of graphic arts to be so fascinating and daunting at the same time. Every program seemed so complex and limitless with abilities and options; and trust me, it is!

​

I invested months learning the ins and outs, perfecting every detail, and absolutely fell in love with the design process.  First with an idea, then a sketch, then with paint, watercolor, PhotoShop, Illustrator and InDesign. Thus, a dream was born and I began working towards making it a reality. I quit my full-time job in 2014 and launched PaperPlum.
