FREELANCE WEB & BRAND DESIGNER · WHIDBEY ISLAND AND SKAGIT COUNTY, WA

Hi, I'm
Kae Sandt

Designer. Navy Veteran.

After years designing products for tech companies, I now help local businesses on Whidbey Island and in Skagit County look as good as their work. My path here wasn't linear, and I think that shows in the work.

My Story

How I Got Here

01

Started in the Navy

Served before design was on my radar. Left with a precision mindset and habits around accountability that still shape how I work. Being Stationed in Japan taught me the value of design.

02

Associates in Graphic Design

Learned the fundamentals. Typography, composition, color theory, the building blocks that everything else sits on.

03

Freelance with startups

Took on real clients early. Helped companies like Skimli build brand identities and design systems from the ground up.

04

Finishing my Bachelor's

Currently finishing my BFA and sharpening the craft. More intentional about every decision than I've ever been.

More work

Also worth showing

I also design mockup templates for other designers and sell them in my Etsy shop.

Off the clock

When I’m not designing: weight lifting, trail running, and hiking.
