This led her eventually to a position as the Graphic Designer for the Multnomah County Libraries, the largest local library system in Oregon, where she did design, production and project management. And where she was made lead worker for the design, production, and distribution of all library printed materials. In 1996 Katherine left the library to work as an independent contractor and expand from print into web design work and concurrent web/print projects. As an independent contractor Katherine has worked with and for a variety of different government agencies, non-profits and local businesses.
