Who is Katie V

Hi, I’m Katie V — part designer, part artist, part magician with a tattoo needle (the permanent makeup kind). I’ve been a graphic designer for over 20 years, a permanent makeup artist for 3, and, truthfully, an artist for as long as I can remember. Creating has always been my language, whether it’s bringing a brand to life, shading the perfect brow, or teaching someone how to make their first brushstroke feel less intimidating.

My studio has three parts:

  • The Art Side is all about community. Think small classes, one-on-one teaching, and plenty of space for creativity to bloom. It’s a place where people can learn, play, and rediscover their inner artist.

  • The Design Side is where I collaborate with like-minded businesses to create everything from logos to full brand systems. If it involves visuals, chances are I can help bring it to life.

  • The Permanent Makeup Side is where art meets beauty, giving clients confidence through brows, lips, and eye liner — refined, natural enhancements that bring confidence and elevate everyday living.

I like to think of what I do as mixing strategy with imagination and professionalism with play. Whether you’re here to refine your brand, learn a new skill, or explore the beauty of permanent makeup, I’m here to create something meaningful with you.
