Making rocket science child’s play

Hi! I’m Katie Merrien. I make complicated things easy to understand. 

My work is more than just pretty pictures.

My illustrations, animations and graphic designs can make your information more understandable and accessible for everyone. Especially people who are often excluded because they’re disabled and/or neurodivergent.

Put simply (which is basically my brand!), I help you tell people what they want to know. To find out more, contact me using the big red button below.

At the top of the image, an arrow points from the text "CommuniKate Design" to CommuniKate Design's logo - a white rocket ship with a blue circular window, with red and orange flames coming out of the bottom. The rocket is surrounded by 3 orange stars. Underneath the logo is a labelled cartoon illustration of Katie wearing a pink jumper. She has long blonde hair and chunky eyebrows, and is smiling and waving her arm in the air.

Animated explainers

Animated videos turn complex information into visual stories that your audience can understand in seconds.

An arrow points from a colourful infographic doodle with graphs and speech bubbles into a brain, next to a tick mark.

Infographic design

Your message is important. Infographic design sticks in the memory and shares the message with everyone.

A large piece of paper shows a dotted journey line from a start sign, accompanied by the text "How we got here" and an arrow, leading to a location pin. Next to the paper is a clock, with numbers 1-4 replaced with the word "real".

Graphic recording

Graphic recording happens in real time. Afterwards, people can follow the flow of the day at a single glance.

A circle labelled "your logo" appears next to a megaphone, from which a speech bubble appears containing a name badge saying "your name" and two hearts labelled "your values".

Logo and icon design

Communicate who you are, what you do and your values. An easy way to brand your content and make your website more engaging and understandable.

A colourful leaflet and poster point to a speech bubble containing a heart-shaped planet Earth, to demonstrate universal communication.

Graphic design

When you have something to say, graphic design is a creative, simple way to get it across to a wider audience. I offer illustrated and digital designs.

A magnifying glass focuses on one of several gold keys contained within a big block of scribbled words. An arrow points from the scribbled words to a piece of paper containing only keys.

Graphic copy

Simplified, accessible copywriting that distils your key information into concise, easily digestible text – without losing the context.

A quick word about… words

As humans, we’re hard-wired to notice pictures. Science has proven they’re also more memorable than written messages.

But I’d never suggest you remove all of your words, because it’s most important to offer people a choice. This helps them feel seen and understood.

Which is why I also offer a choice of services, including simplified graphic copy to help widen your audience and makes it easier for them to learn about you and your services.

An illustrated road sign points towards a future of better customer journeys. The left-hand turn points to competitors' services.

A bit about me

I started CommuniKate Design in 2019, on a one-way mission to simplify business communication. 

Accessibility lies at the core of everything I create. 

When a message is accessible to groups who are often excluded, it also engages everyone else.
