CommuniKate Design
Making rocket science child’s play
Hi! I’m Katie Merrien. I help you tell people what they want to know.
My work is more than just pretty pictures. It makes complicated things easier to understand. This makes your customers happier and saves you time.
My illustrations, animations and graphic designs can make your information more accessible and inclusive for everyone. Especially people who are often excluded, which means you can reach and engage a wider audience.
Put simply (which is basically my brand!), I help you tell people things in a way that makes sense to them.

How I can help you
Communicating in writing alone excludes a huge proportion of your potential customers.
Big blocks of text can make information harder to access and understand for people who are neurodivergent, disabled, tired, stressed, in pain, distracted or hungry…
Basically, all humans.
I work with you to turn your information into simple, visual messages, in a format that suits you and your (potential) customers best. Because when you have something important to say, you don’t want to risk losing your audience.

Inclusion and accessibility are at the heart of everything I do. And one of the most important things for accessible communication is to offer people a choice.
Which is why I also offer a choice of services to help increase your audience and help them learn about you. These include:

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

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

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

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.

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.

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