Writing, Editing, Designing
My name is Katie Wheeler and I am a senior Digital Technology and Culture Major, Professional Writing Minor, and Fine Arts Minor at Washington State University. This web profile is designed to showcase some of the work from my time at WSU that I am most excited about and pleased with.
"You write to communicate to the hearts and minds of others what's burning inside you.
And we edit to let the fire show through the smoke."
~ Arthur Polotnik
I truly love researching an idea, synthesizing it with my own contributions, and crafting effective, informative, and interesting pieces of writing. I also enjoy investigative writing, and have worked as a Copy Writer for the WSU Chinook Yearbook. I also pride myself in my ability to edit the work of others while respecting the author. I enjoy guiding other professional writers toward clearly and, often persuasively, expressing themselves or a clear goal in their work.
"Design, in its broadest sense, is the enabler of the digital era - it's a process that creates
order out of chaos, that renders technology usable to business. Design means being
good, not just looking good."
~ Clement Mok
My enthusiasm for the written word is rivaled only by my love for digital design. As a student, I have the opportunity to access the latest programs and technologies to create visually pleasing layouts and unique pieces of digital art.
