Hi, I’m Kaitlyn.

I started my journey into creative communication in my first internship at the Museum of Northern Arizona. As an undergraduate intern, I researched for and wrote their first Social Media Plan. I went on to cut my teeth further at the National Galleries of Scotland as the Digital Media Intern, researching for and creating visual and written content for their website as well as conducting and analysing user research on their app.

From there I moved to Leeds College of Art, where I worked in the Students’ Union, focusing on the website, visual design, communications and marketing. In my final year, I led and designed the Union’s rename and rebrand when the College was awarded University status and became Leeds Arts University.

Along the way I worked on many projects, including writing and producing a social history podcast called Northern, as well as taking on branding, lettering, website and various other design and digital projects for clients and friends. In 2019 I left full time employment and began freelancing, I also founded Laikin Studio that year, a true labour of love.
