I belive in graphic design, which isn’t just pretty or pleasing. I want my work to tell a story.

My name is Katrine Holst. I got my degree in graphic design from the Danish School of Media and Journalism in Copenhagen. Throughout my education, I have gained experience in many different branches of visual communication, concept development, and branding. Before my design education, I studied communication at the same institution. Here I gained knowledge on strategy, segmentation, and social media.

My approach to design is inevitably influenced by my interest in communication and storytelling, and I take great pride in finding a good narrative when I create visual concepts. I'm not interested in making designs that are just trendy decorations. I care about graphic design that tells a story and involves people.

Lately, I have expanded my skillset in new directions by working intensely with journalism, audio design, and interview techniques as well as frame by frame animation. That is quite the career change you might think, but I don’t really think so. It’s all communication. I just have a few more tools in my toolbox now.
