Art Director & Freelance Designer

KATIE MCLEAN
art | design | media for the surf | health industries
Born and raised in a warehouse in the Funk Zone of Santa Barbara, CA amidst a community of craftsmen, prominent surf culture, and do-it-yourself environment provided Katie McLean with endless inspiration and an eclectic palette with which she creates. With 8 years working experience in writing, graphic design, and illustration, 4 years owning Latitude Gallery, a BA in digital media for motion graphics from a full scholarship at Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles, and a passion for public art and non-profit organizations,
Katie is most driven to create for causes and communities that she believes in.

Her 2 years of surfing and traveling for Roxy Quiksilver since winning a world-wide 19,000-entry video-social media video contest instilled in her the purpose of inspiring others. Her ambassador roles for Roxy Outdoor Fitness, Wetsand Surf, Designer Whey, and Project Save Our Surf, along with her Pilates and kickboxing certifications and 3 years working at a local yoga studio, have perfectly expanded her writing and design work into the surf, adventure, health and wellbeing industries.

When she’s not designing, you’ll find her sliding in the sea, meandering trails in the mountains, or making massive messes of health concoctions in the kitchen.
