Ok, where to begin? 😅
My name is Kaytee Davis. I’m a designer, typography lover, bike rider, mediocre guitar player, car-singer, cafe-wifi-stealer, and beach-goer.
I seek out opportunities to work with forward-thinking, progressive companies who believe in their vision strongly, who are disruptors, and who understand their influence and want to utilize it for good.
I like to help businesses of all sizes blossom into their fullest potential. That means getting down to doing the work, but also meeting you as an equal. I love to make others laugh, so expect a light-hearted and transparent approach. Oh, and a visit from my office assistant, Theo. 🐱
Ok, here’s the specs.

Ok, here’s the story.
I’ve been fortunate enough to work in various design-focused environments spanning over the past 10 years. Evolving from print-production and publication, to branding, web design, and in-house product design.
I’ve launched countless brands and immersive online experiences for local and international clients of all shapes and sizes in varying industries — eCommerce, Health and Wellness, Food and Beverage, and Real Estate.
While working as an in-house Product Designer, I designed the company’s first Native iOS app. I worked directly with Apple to create a fully native experience that would allow their employees and employees at some of the world’s largest companies to donate and volunteer through their workplace.
Throughout these experiences I’ve learned quite a lot about what to do and what not to do. But even more so, I’ve been lucky to recognize and be able to pursue the kind of work that I truly find the most joy in… and here we are!
“Kaytee’s a total pro with a whip-smart sense of humour, and her handle on design is impressive so she can translate even the most abstract ideas into clear and compelling visual solutions.”
