Katrina Hoss
Graphic Designer and Artist
I am a graphics artist and illustrator living in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. My desire is to create outstanding designs for my clients. There is nothing more satisfying to me than going beyond someone’s expectations with my designs. If a client can imagine it, I will create it and work with the client until we get it exactly the way they want.
I have been drawing for as long as I can remember - my love for paper and pencils is unquenchable. The ability to create something in my mind and draw that on paper, just makes me happy. Through the years I have incorporated and embraced digital media using a Wacom Tablet and Photoshop.
The combination of encouragement, comments and inspiration from other artists and teachers continue to push me to improve my own drawing skills. There is nothing I enjoy more than working on my art, furthering my ability to utilize Photoshop to create lively characters and striking works of art.
In my spare time I will usually grab my sketchbook and head to a local coffee shop or art museum.Certrec Corporation
Certrec does regulatory compliance services for energy plants.
Working at Certrec, I have been privileged with creating brand consistency across our digital platforms and print materials. I collaborate with the social media manager and create graphics for posts on facebook, twitter, and LinkedIn. I have created print materials such as brochures, event banners, window decals, and tee shirts. I also developed and manage the website for the company and implement seo strategies.

At Madeline Tosh I took pictures of products, edited photos using Photoshops, and loaded the products to their shopify website. Other tasks included: creating graphic ads and holiday greetings for social media, creating and editing product pages on shopify, and illustrating unique images.
LIFT Creations
At LIFT Marketing Agency, I was a graphic designer on a team that made websites, app designs, branding, print products (brochures, business cards), videos, and ad campaigns. I worked under an art director, and we together would work on projects that would undergo several revisions until the client was satisfied with the result. Some projects included website creation using WordPress, social media posts, brochures, business cards, and window signs.

Working for the digital agency AIM I created headers and graphics for various business websites and made customized posts for social media sites like Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google+ for a variety of different small and medium sized business clients.
Personal Work
I enjoy drawing and sketching whenever I can. In addition, I enjoy translating my drawings in photoshop and creating digital art work.
