Kate Oldroyd

How to introduce Kate? Kate is a very rare creative who covers so many different disciplines and skills it’s really hard to sum her up in one word. She is an amazing artist who can draw, paint, create, and generally turn her hand to anything. A true creative mind that is forever pushing herself and learning new skills.

I had the pleasure of working with her for seven years where she was responsible for everything from factory technical digital drawings, repeat print and pattern design for clothing, lingerie, and swimwear, alongside social media and digital artwork. Throughout this time her illustration and print design and creative eye always stunned me and so when building Designed and Created I knew exactly who to call. Kate has designed this website and all of the branding so she really is multi-talented and works in freehand drawing using different media to digital design and branding as well. As an artist on this site, I’m delighted to be showcasing her personal style in print and risograph printing.

Kate has been creating in one form or another since she was a child, but it was while she was studying Art & Design at college that she realised she wanted a career in design. She graduated university with a degree in lingerie design, and then spent seven years designing prints for women’s clothing, lingerie, and swimwear in the apparel industry.

Now a freelancer, Kate is exploring where these design skills can take her next. Print and pattern are still key elements of her practice, but illustration and graphic design are becoming a more important part of this too.

Kate works in a variety of media including watercolour, ink, and digital.
