Katie Manos:
Graphic Design Portfolio

Katie Manos is a graphic designer born in, living in, and focusing on Los Angeles.

She sees the role of the designer as one of both authorship and intention, and strives to create a practice that incorporates social responsibility into the work she does. She earned her MFA in Graphic Design at Otis College of Art and Design in 2019. Before pausing her career in 2021, she embodied the millennial dream of having four part time jobs, cobbling together a busy yet flexible career: in-house Graphic Designer at Clockshop; Studio Manager at verynice; and Lecturer at Otis College of Art and Design. Currently, at her freelance practice, Katie is trying on a Design Strategist hat at verynice.

More recently, Katie's practice has turned inward toward artistry for the pleasure of creating for creating's sake. Her risograph printing press, Good Enough, explored her more whimsical side, using neon colors with flora from her backyard, to printing wedding invitations and greeting cards and calendars. Katie's most consistent practice is that of sewing her own wardrobe, as an act of patience, self love and exploration; and most recently, daily journaling.
