Independent design studio working with arts organisations, cultural festivals, and community ventures across the Delaware Valley, Hudson Valley, and beyond. Remote, collaborative, studio-based.
I'm Catherine Chesters — a designer with over two decades across broadcast, brand, and cultural identity. After years at Showtime, VH1, and MTV, I've turned my practice toward what drives me most: arts organisations, cultural festivals, and communities with something worth saying.
I work remotely from my studio in the Hudson Valley, New York, collaborating with clients across the Delaware Valley and Hudson Valley, and beyond. I take on a small number of projects at any one time so every engagement gets the depth it deserves.
