Strategic branding, websites, and communications for nonprofits, advocacy organizations, and mission-driven businesses — designed with clarity, accessibility, and purpose.

No Stone Unturned.
No Pixel Wasted.

Brand and web experiences with intention, precision, and a deep focus on results. Strategic design that’s as smart as it is beautiful.

Let’s work together

I partner with nonprofits and mission-driven organizations to create clear brands, accessible websites, and thoughtful communications that help communities connect, engage, and take action.

Nonprofits and community organizations do meaningful work—often with limited time, staff, and resources. Clear, accessible design helps reduce friction, build trust, and make it easier for people to understand your mission and support your work.

My role is to help organizations bring clarity and structure to their communications so people can more easily understand, connect with, and support their work.

Design that amplifies your mission.

Words from Executive Directors or Communications Directors

“Love, Love, Love!!! Thank you! I can’t say enough good things. You are a magician!”

“I had seen some other websites Katherine Chordas had designed and felt she would be a great fit to design our new website. We made a very good choice, and we are very pleased with the outcome. Katherine was easy to work with and understood the need to be flexible with our ability to provide the needed information for her. She explained things easily and trained us on maintaining the new website ourselves. She also did a refresh of our agency logo. We were happy with the basic design and did not want that to change, but we wanted it updated. It turned out beautifully. We have come back to Katherine several times with additional questions, and she has always responded quickly to our needs. I would recommend Katherine Chordas Design to anyone looking for a new website.”

Sharon Heddle | Executive Director at Disabilities Network of CT

“Katherine and I worked very closely together as I was growing my business. She was an extremely talented designer with great ideas, she was reliable, and she was easy to work with. As an art director, she could take a project from start to finish and be in direct contact with my clients. At the end of the day, she made my job easier. What more could you ask for? I highly recommend Katherine as your go-to designer.”

Kate Greene | CEO at Storykind

“I had the pleasure of working with Katherine on the complete rebrand of one of our companies. She expertly guided us through the process of defining our persona, voice, messaging, and every bit involved in crafting a brand that reflected exactly the tone we were looking for. She then collaborated patiently with us through many rounds of logo design and the creation of a completely new website (including hosting). Her knowledge of the end-to-end process was amazing, and her communication style was fantastic. Katherine made sure everything was complete to our liking before handing over the “keys to the kingdom” – and even then, not until she trained us on the backend and we were completely comfortable. I would highly recommend hiring Katherine for your marketing needs.”

Kristen Diamond | Marketing Leader + Fractional CMO

“In addition to her technical and website building expertise, Katherine has a terrific eye for design. She’s thoughtful about her work. She’s also very easy to work with: she’s smart and thorough, she follows-up and she always meets or exceeds deadlines.”
