“Probably the fastest project turnaround time of any designer you’ll ever meet”
I’ve spent the last 4 years as an in-house design leader for a SaaS company called CareerPlug. I developed brand guidelines for the company and designed Brand Kits and templates across all internal tools to ensure a cohesive brand experience.
I recently completed Google's UX Design Certification Program. I will update my portfolio with projects completed in the courses soon. Stay tuned!
I work primarily on marketing & sales enablement content, including but not limited to: flyers, reports, conference booths, physical company collateral, infographics, and website design. I have also dabbled in videos, gifs, and logo design.
I specialize in making content into templates so that non-designers can make simple updates without going through the bottleneck of the design team.
"I'll cut right to the chase: You will be getting an absolute STEAL in Kacie Sommers. I worked closely with her for over 4 years as a Sr. Content Marketing Manager and she turned our boring marketing content into amazing collateral that always impressed our customers and colleagues – graphic assets, web page designs, content downloads, ebooks, ads, and everything you could throw at her. She even taught herself how to create motion graphics for VIDEOS when I asked her to. On top of all of that, she also knows HTML and CSS and is in a UX design bootcamp. She's talented, scrappy, kind, and a joy to be around. I wish I could take her with me to any company I work at. If you're hiring for a design role, you NEED to bring her in for an interview. You'll see!"
"I worked with Kacie at CareerPlug for 4 years. I’ve never seen someone make such an impact on every department at a company like she did. Kacie is a full design team wrapped up in one person -- not only does she turnaround projects lightning fast, she does them with class. If you’re looking for someone who produces high-quality content, is an excellent project manager, and knows all the fancy website things (CSS, HTML, etc.) — Kacie is your person! She’s also a quick learner, and I know she’ll be adding UX to her resume soon!"
"I've worked with Kacie for nearly ten years and was her direct manager for four years. And I was LUCKY to share a professional space with her. Kacie's work ethic and capacity for growth and learning always pushed me to do better myself -- she is one of the most detail-oriented, conscientious, and genuinely kind people I know. She was the company's go-to and expert for so many questions and is the Queen of "under promise, and over-deliver" when it comes to timelines and delivering professionally designed collateral ahead of schedule. I hope our professional paths cross again in the future!"
