Hi there, I'm Katie Updegrove and I am a senior graphic design major at the Rochester Institute of Technology. I’ve always been a storyteller throughout my life. I grew up involved in a local youth circus troupe, telling stories in a multifaceted way. Being on stage fostered my sense of creativity, my love of the arts, and a joy for connecting with people. Combined with hands-on design experience, I discovered how to find and create wonder and magic in everyday things. People and emotions are at the heart of my work and I strive to make meaningful connections with clients through my work.
