Referrals and Recommendations
Kathy is very committed and hard working, she puts a lot of thought and care into her work, and is always open to constructive feedback. She is a great collaborator and always ready to support or partner with other designers and creatives, plus she is incredibly organized and pays attention to detail. Some of her experience includes layout design, print production, UI, and packaging design. Kathy is especially passionate about sustainable packaging research and implementation. I strongly recommend Kathy for anyone looking for a talented, passionate and dedicated designer.

My experience working with and managing Kathy for almost three years was really positive.
I have had the pleasure of working with Kathy Ramirez for several years, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From her first internship at Fuze Branding fresh out of school, Kathy demonstrated a keen eye, a curiosity and passion for growing her skills as a designer, and a willingness to push herself creatively and professionally. In the years I worked with her at Fuze, Kathy consistently went the extra mile in every project.
When Fuze closed its doors in April of 2020, I continued to partner with Kathy on consulting projects, such as our work with Skin Nutritious, a holistic acne treatment practice.
Her creative suggestions for developing a memorable user experience, special details, and delivery are invaluable.
I cannot recommend Kathy highly enough, and I am more than happy to discuss her merits should you need additional information. Please reach out to me at laura@propernaming.co.

As a small business owner of a branding agency, ROI is crucial. In 7 years, Kathy Ramirez was one of the BEST investments I’ve ever made, hands down.
Kathy was an Associate Graphic Designer at Fuze Branding and worked directly under me for 3 years. Her core job description was to translate the finalized brand standards into packaging design, social media templates, print design, ebooks, and web design for our clients. She EXCELS in this department and really gets how to carry forward a brand story with little creative direction.
She has mastered how to start any design process with concepts and inspiration, but is efficient enough as a designer to get down to the execution and produce the work. I’ve worked with plenty of other graphic designers who were good at one or the other, but Kathy knows how to balance both in a way that remains profitable for a business.
When presented with a problem, she turns to research and presents the options. In her off time she continues to take webinars and workshops to expand her own knowledge. This woman is a human design sponge - she doesn’t stop soaking up everything she can learn even though she’s already excellent at what she does. And that what pushes her from good to OUTSTANDING.
On top of all this, she has such grace when listening and translating design feedback. She never lets her ego get in the way, and is truly a professional and one of the best in the industry.

I don’t give this praise often, but Kathy is also one of the most organized and detailed individuals I’ve worked with. She takes initiative, often pointing things out that are missed by others. Even her filing system is top notch!
