About Kate
I’m Kate Colmer — a digital communications specialist blending storytelling, multimedia production, and modern web craft to make complex ideas easy to understand and easy to find.
From factory-floor touchscreens to product sites, I take projects from first sketch to shipped build — strategy, design, motion, and code under one roof.
Behind the scenes.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
What kind of work are you strongest in?
Translating complex, technical subject matter into communication people actually engage with. I’ve spent fifteen-plus years making science, safety, and technology stories clear — from single-cell cancer genomics to food-safety storytelling — across film, animation, interactive, print, and the web.
Do you shoot and edit video yourself?
Yes — end to end. Pre-production planning, interview setups, lighting and audio, B-roll on location, then the edit, motion graphics, and delivery cut down for each platform. I’ve run shoots everywhere from research labs and mock hospital rooms to rooftops.
Can you meet accessibility standards (AODA / WCAG)?
Yes. I build to WCAG so the work holds up under AODA — semantic structure, captions and transcripts on video, reduced-motion fallbacks, and verified contrast. This site is built that way, right down to the animations.
What about SEO — and AI search?
Search is part of the build, not an afterthought: structured data, clean semantics, fast pages, and full video transcripts so both search engines and AI systems can find, read, and cite the work.
Do you work with teams or solo?
Both. I’ve directed crews, designers, and developers — and mentored new hires and students — on enterprise accounts, and I’m just as comfortable delivering a project end to end on my own.
Which tools do you live in?
After Effects, Cinema 4D, Blender, and Final Cut Pro for production; Figma and the Adobe suite for design; Astro, GSAP, and Lottie on the web side — plus Drupal, WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, and SharePoint when the project lives in a CMS; Storyline, Captivate, and the major LMS platforms for learning content. Plus AI-assisted pipelines — with human review — where they genuinely help.
What’s the fastest way to find out if we’re a fit?

Recognition
Gold Stevie® Award — American Business Awards
For OfficeMax’s quarterly eLearning series, won leading interactive projects at Creative Options (a Protiviti company). The trophy still sits on the shelf; the lesson stuck: make learning people actually want to finish.
Younger me, the day the trophy arrived.
