Bespoke web design & thoughtful storytelling for those shaping culture
Katie Barrie Studio is an independently run creative studio offering fully customized website design and development alongside comprehensive branding services. Tailoring each project to a client’s specific needs, my work unites cohesive design with intentional messaging to deliver stellar one-of-a-kind digital experiences.
My approach
My design sensibility is rooted in clarity, restraint, and a meticulous attention to detail. I approach each project by considering the full picture — from narrative and structure to typography, color, and navigation — so that every element is working together in service of the work itself.
Projects are addressed holistically, with equal care given to visual expression and problem-solving. This means developing intuitive systems, with hierarchy, pacing, and structure shaped in response to each client’s specific needs. The goal is always to create work that feels considered, distinctive, and true to the voice it represents.
My work is a reflection of a lifetime of studying and making art, teaching color theory and design principles, and helping professional artists and local entrepreneurs build their businesses. I work with clients worldwide, so please get in touch — wherever you may be.
My services
Custom-Tailored Web Design
Custom websites built from scratch, ranging from concise portfolios to robust, feature-rich platforms.
At the core of my studio is fully custom website design and development for artists, entrepreneurs, and cultural organizations. Every site is designed from the ground up — never from a template — and approached as a creative collaboration that brings together visual storytelling, thoughtful structure, and technical care. Rather than treating a website as a static marketing tool, I design digital spaces that feel intentional, intuitive, and deeply aligned with the work they represent. Each project is scoped individually around your content, goals, and timeline, resulting in a site that functions clearly, supports growth, and evolves alongside your practice or business.
Branding Support
Visual identity systems designed to support your work across digital and print.
For clients who need it, I offer branding support as a natural extension of the web design process. This work focuses on developing or refining the visual foundations of a brand — including identity, typography, color, and imagery — so that your work is represented with clarity and consistency across platforms. Branding support may extend beyond the website into print, editorial, and other digital applications, creating a cohesive visual language that can grow and adapt over time. Whether starting from scratch or building on existing materials, the goal is always the same: to create a clear, flexible identity that supports recognition and meaningful connection wherever the work appears.
