lettering & illustration
My biggest passion is hand lettering and typography. I have great experience working with a tablet and pen. I often find myself doodling over my personal photographs while cozied up with a good Netflix show.
I find inspiration from my everyday life - the colorful houses of San Francisco. the ocean. a fresh Spotify playlist. songs with a good bass drop. sweet & funny quotes from loved ones. my current obsessions, i.e., space movies, denim on denim, snail-mail, and stalking myself from 2009 on Facebook.
I play hard to stay creative and keep my sketchbook alive. I am always noticing things that strike me as eye candy or soul food. When I do find a lyric that hits home or when I capture a fleeting moment in a photograph that I want to cherish... that is when my inspiration is fueled the most.
That is when my imagination runs the most wild.
That is when I feel my passions come to life.
You can find me and my work on Instagram @katejoymcd - you never know what I'll be inspired by tomorrow.
