A reimagined and redesigned brand and website with custom secure forms to streamline apprentice and journeyman applications to save time for internal teams, and securely handle private data.
“Wow did [they] exceed our expectations (which were high to begin with) and consistently over-performed and helped us reach a website design and branding our organization is thrilled with. We're already planning on using [them] for any future new website ideas we want to take on!”
Vince Sugrue, State Legislative Director, SMW Union 104
“Katie and her team are amazing! They walked us through the design process and let us weave in our own ideas alongside her amazing build-out of our website.The pricing was more than fair and she met or beat every timeline she offered. We will gladly continue to work with Katie and her team on this and other projects in the future! I cannot recommend beyond five stars or I would!”

Welcome to KStudio
Hey there, I’m Katie Dunn, the founder of KStudio.
I started KStudio to because I wanted to create a life of balance, mixed with defining a process my clients would enjoy, that would clarify everything they were trying to say in visuals, and in writing.
I’m passionate about helping the trades succeed because I believe deeply in supporting communities. The work you do everyday helps individuals improve their lives and find long-term stability, which is the tide that helps all boats rise.
I’d love to speak with you about your organization and how I can help. Just hit the button, schedule a call, and let’s talk through solutions for you.
Discovery & strategy
We define your platform architecture, user flows, and success metrics before a single page is built.
Design & revision rounds
You see a concept before development begins. We include revisions to ensure the look and feel are right.
Build & integrate
Development, integrations, and content migration happen in a controlled staging environment.
Test everything
Every flow, every device, every edge case. Nothing goes live that hasn't been proven to work.
Launch & celebrate
We go live together. You get the reveal. Your members get a platform they'll love.
The Perfect Launch Method
We perfected the process to deliver meaningful, impactful design and development solutions — that we get right the first time.
