Catherine J.

I help brands, agencies, founders, and executive teams turn ideas into polished creative across campaigns, presentations, social content, events, and on-camera storytelling. I’m a hybrid creative: art director, brand designer, content producer and on-camera host. For the past 4+ years, I’ve partnered with Indeed through Upwork as a long-term creative contractor supporting brand campaigns, social-first content, executive presentations, event programming, and high-visibility storytelling initiatives. My work spans creative direction, concepting, design, and on-camera talent for brands building their own media. I’ve supported creative work for Indeed, The Female Quotient, Tribeca Film Festival, SXSW, Raven PR, MetLife, United Airlines, Zebra Technologies, and more. My sweet spot is translating complex ideas into creative that feels clear, elevated, human, and built for modern platforms. I can support with: • On-camera hosting, interviewing, and content production • Brand art direction and campaign design • Pitch decks, keynote decks, and executive presentations • Social media content systems and campaign assets • Founder and executive thought leadership content • Visual identity systems and brand refreshes • Event coverage, red carpet interviews, and conference recaps • Creative concepts, scripts, prompts, and content formats • Editorial design and launch assets Clients bring me in when they need more than a task-based designer. I can help clarify the message, shape the creative direction, build the visual system, and support the final execution - whether that’s a brand deck, social campaign, executive content series, interview format, or event content package. As Aidan McLaughlin, Global Director of Marketing + Content at Indeed, shared after our work together: "Cate brings a rare combination of creative intelligence, cultural fluency, design judgment, on-camera instincts, and creative direction". My background includes 8+ years in design and art direction, 2.5+ years of on-camera hosting and interviewing, and an M.A. in Graphic Design and Visual Experience from SCAD. Ideal projects include campaign launches, brand systems, pitch decks, executive storytelling, social-first content, event coverage, and interview-led content that needs to feel polished, smart, and not overly corporate. If you’re looking for a senior creative partner who can help shape the idea, design the system, and bring the story to life across brand, social, decks, events, or on-camera content, I’d love to collaborate. Available for project-based work, monthly creative support, and fractional contracts with teams that need senior-level art direction, brand design, social content, presentation design, or on-camera storytelling support.
