Kat Manor

About

I'm the sole artist and designer behind Katdog Design, a small but mighty studio in the Twin Cities area. With a BFA in Graphic Design and over a decade of experience, I specialize in building and extending brand identities and creating illustrations that connect with your audience. My work spans various industries, including food, wellness, cannabis, agriculture, and tech, with expertise in packaging, merchandise, websites, patterns, murals, and more. When I'm not creating, you'll find me in St. Paul with my husband, our energetic dog, and our quirky pet pig, enjoying board games, sci-fi marathons, or the great outdoors.
