Email: katymurta@att.net Phone: 323 633 7715 www.katymurta.com I have a passion for all things creative--package design, logo design, icons, illustration, print design, book design, environmental graphics, motion design, UX design, drawing, and painting. I have years of experience collaborating with clients--from small start-ups to Fortune 500 companies--on creative design, illustration, motion design, and UX; executing innovative and engaging visual solutions so that they can delight their customers, increase sales, and create lifelong brand advocates. I am certified in Leading SAFe 5.0 and POPM 6, and a graduate of the Google UX Certification program, resulting in two mobile apps and websites, following the UX design process from research to testing. I am a big believer in giving back, so I mentor junior designers, and I provide leadership, creative direction, and subject matter expertise (SME) to help build collaborative teams via creative documentation, communication, and best practices. Some highlights from my varied creative career: - Built out strategic partnership campaigns for Farmers Insurance consisting of multiple deliverables that increased brand awareness, lead generation, and click-rate by 10% for the target demographic via Affinity groups and employer-sponsored channels.  - Implemented HTML5 banner animations for a fast rebrand of MetLife assets. The ‘Parking’ banner ad increased the click rate by 23%.  - Launched an HTML5 Google Ad submission documentation, enhancing team efficiency by 25%.  - Led the Farmers' design team on an illustration brand style guide and built out assets for our internal teams, saving hours spent creating new assets. - Directed the same team on best practices for Adobe InDesign, with a supplemental guide created for future reference, saving hours spent on tutorials.

I am an active runner--I have run two marathons, dozens of half-marathons and perhaps hundreds of 10ks. My running shoe? Asics!
