About Us

Kate Russell, Owner and Principal Graphic Designer

kate russell

Kate was born to design. After completing her Bachelor's Degree in Art History at the University of Texas, she immediately found her passion for designing and simplifying highly technical and complicated designs, while creating a consistent brand identity. She specializes in working with real estate, financial firms, and other businesses that need to simplify complicated concepts while establishing a solid brand presence. She has spent over a decade designing everything from newsletters, infographics, handbooks, to website design, online and social graphics, and more. Her extensive experience as a technical editor has allowed her to overlap her design and copywriting talent to provide content creation alongside design.

She works in Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, Acrobat, Illustrator, and FrameMaker. She has a passion to learn new programs, is proficient in HTML and CSS, and is a self-proclaimed Microsoft Office Suite dominator. Kate is an expert at becoming an expert on your business and creating designs that allow you to effortlessly communicate with your ideal customers.

When she isn't designing, she's enjoying Krav Maga, hiking, writing, drawing, rearranging furniture, and cleaning up after her menagerie of domesticated animals, including two dogs, four cats, and one husband.

"Kate Russell is some kind of creative genius. Each book cover, each logo, each one-pager prompts her clients to say, 'It’s perfect! I love it!'"

Best-Selling Author Dita Dow

The Haunting Feast of All Hallows Eve

"I trust Kate Russell of Westley Enterprises for all my book covers. Her talent and ease to work with are unmatched. She brings my vision to life effortlessly, making each book cover a true masterpiece. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional design and professionalism!"

WILLA Award-Winning Author Katy Hammel

Mrs. Wise Meets a Pigeon

"Through some kind of intuitive wizardry, Kate takes in a few words of what I'm seeking for a book cover and produces a graphic design that is not only enticing for a reader but also true to the spirit of the story. I'll say something like 'a chemically-addled pigeon in a garden' or 'the stuffed animal left behind on a plane by a child with autism' and presto, Kate's got it."

Author A.J. Sparks

Beauty and the Water Scene

"In my short story about a watery castle made of water, Kate was ingenuitive and really communicated. In the short amount of time, we had she kept our eye on the prize. We made a delightful and intriguing cover together!"

Author Donna Carol Martens

Lucifer Returns to Heaven

"Kate Russell's cover design for my first book exceeded all of my expectations. Kate came up with the perfect illustration that captured the energy of the main character and his narrative. She was able to work with different fonts and typesetting until everything looked flawless on the cover. As a first-time self publisher, I was naive about the design process, but Kate professionally walked me through the maze. She created the perfect templates for Kindle Direct Publishing and Draft to Digital Publishing. She is easy to work with and kind. I am indebted to her and her creativity."

Award-Winning Author Sonja Dewing

Weapons of Choice

"Kate is a fantastic cover designer. Sometimes I'll give her a tiny detail (young chinese woman on a boat), or sometimes nothing at all and she'll come up with a fantastic design. I'll generally have a few minor changes and she's really quick to make the fixes."

Author Saleema Ishq

"As an indie author, there's a lot of pressure to make our books look as professional as traditionally published ones. Thanks to Kate’s incredible formatting, readers and other authors alike have told me they can’t tell my book is self-published. If that’s not proof of how polished the design is, I don’t know what is! Her work has played a huge role in getting my book into every single bookstore I’ve pitched. I can’t thank Kate enough for making my book baby look so grown up and fancy!"
