I've been building lots of new websites for lovely clients and decided it was time for my own sparkly new site. What better way to start a new year than with an updated brand and a swanky new website?

1. Google the problem and attempt to fix it
2. Clear your browser cache

Hot off the press! This month's blog is what Hall & Oates were really singing about in 'Maneater'. A 2 minute read plus a little music for some extra pizzazz.

Extra Extra read all about it! Hot off the press, this month's blog post is my guilty pleasure: cardamom. A 3 minute read - and well, given the subject matter, it pairs perfectly with a cup of chai.

Kate McKay | Digital Design On any given day you'll catch me sprinkling it's powder on breakfast porridge, popping a couple of pods into a pot of rice, adding it's fragrant crushed seeds to chai, or even dropping a heavy pinch with some cayenne pepper into a hot chocolate.
About Me
My name is Kate McKay and I'm a freelance Graphic & Web Designer based in Calgary, Alberta. My expertise includes logo design, branding, web design and infographics.
I especially love supporting remarkable people to make a difference in the world - and in particular, working with female small business owners.
An adventurous creative balanced with a disciplined ‘process’ brain, I have been dabbling on the graphics side of life for many years. I was however, surprised one evening on a Chapters date to find myself arriving home not with my typical heartfelt novel - but with a hefty coding book and an itch to get learning.
I’ve been building websites ever since.
