Hi, I'm
Kate Riniker
A little bit about me. I was born and raised in West Palm Beach, Florida. I grew up close to the ocean and always in some sort of creative craft. I attended A.W. Dreyfoos School of the Arts in 2019 with a focus on Digital media. During my four years at Dreyfoos, I spent most of my time working with photography, specifically black and white film. I quickly got really good at developing and producing many photos, good and bad. I worked with animation, video, and printmaking on the side from photography.
I then went off to Flagler College in St. Augustine, Florida, where I started as a Fine Art major. I ended up switching over to graphic design and got super into digital creations. Being exposed to graphic design made anything feel possible. I could create whatever I set my mind to. Just like in high school, I backed up my main focus with other mediums. I worked more with printmaking and ceramics. I started to learn more about textiles, painting, typography, branding, and advertising.
All to say, I have enjoyed all the mediums I have been so lucky to learn and work in. I’ve been grateful for opportunities outside of school as well to freelance and work in print shops to widen my skills.
I’m currently based in South Florida, working at a creative agency, OGK Creative, in Boca Raton. I have extremely excelled in my knowledge in the graphic world and am hungry for more. I can’t wait to see where I end up and am eager to grow in my creative career.
Xo, Kate
