Kathryn Holeton

Brand Designer for Musicians and Writers

My name is Kathryn Holeton. I am a Brand Designer for musicians and writers based in Knoxville, Tennessee. I was a musician and writer for many years but found I had a knack for brand design when I was finishing up my Bachelor's in Professional and Technical Communication.

After I graduated, I worked in several industries, most notably music, poetry, and publishing, which you can read about in "My Creations."

One thing I found consistently lacking was the conversation of having a brand. No one was actively discussing this important step in the creative industries, and it annoyed me.

My mission is to help musicians and writers create a brand that supports their creative practice. Because you deserve to be successful, you deserve to grow. Your work deserves to be heard and seen.
