Hey folks! I’m Katherine. I’m a Chicago based creative professional with a focus on branding, digital and printed matter… and things that matter.
Katherine Rivich is a multidisciplinary designer and illustrator based in Chicago.
I have experience working on projects ranging from complex visual identity systems to publications. My process includes research, ideation, prototyping, redesign and concept presentation.
I focus on designing for good. Large or small, I enjoy working on projects that contribute to things that I care about such as human rights, art and culture, community building and anything else that has a positive impact for this Earth we call home.
When I'm not moving pixels, you can find me tending to my plants, working on my next wacky tactile project or taking deep breaths in nature.
Specializing in print, her work spans from brand, digital and publication design. She loves developing designs with illustrative elements that explore bold ideas to translate core messaging into compelling visual systems.
