Web Design
Brand Identity
WaFd Bank rebranded from “Washington Federal Bank” in 2020, and the website had a major facelift to reflect the new and refreshed brand identity.
I helped with creating new webpage layouts, web graphics (like the SVG interactive map) and images that reflected the new brand identity standards.
I designed many iterations of webpages for new pages and existing pages for WaFd Bank with the user’s experience in mind.
Every page had a responsive design layout.
-> One example is WaFd Bank’s password testing tool that changes images and results as something is typed in the input field.
Web Page Design
User Interface Design
I also helped with the User Interface Design of the mobile app by designing multiple app “skins” for light mode, dark mode, and more.
Print Design
Art Guide Books
At Whitworth University in 2018, I designed and wrote art guide books for buildings on campus that featured artwork from the permanent art collection. These books were about 16-20 pages long and told stories about the artists and artwork displayed on the walls in each building on campus.

I design and handmake everything for my art business - KorieJoy. I create print designs for products such as journals, vinyl stickers, fine art prints, notepads and more.

I work with clients on their custom illustration requests, from pet portraits to character designs, and even logos!
