Art Director
Kay Everatt
Hey there, I’m Kay! As the Art Director at Yellow Duck, I’ve had an incredible 9-year journey at the Duck Pond, building an impressive portfolio along the way.
I started my adventure at YDM as a graphic design intern and swam against the current, holding not just one, not two or three, but FOUR different titles before becoming the Art Director. I’ve been the creative force behind successful brand launches like Alliance Optimist Park, Broadstone Ingleside, Revel Apartments, and The Pointe. I’ve crafted eye-catching graphics and collateral that stop traffic (literally!) for clients such as Charlotte Water, Vantage South End and Waverly.
When it comes to my specialties, video and motion graphics take the cake. I’ve worked on exciting projects like the Humane Society partnership with former Panther’s Coach Ron Rivera and even won a Davey award for the remarkable Teach For America Video.
I’m a proud graduate of the University of South Carolina (Go Gamecocks!) with a degree in Visual Communications. After a short stint at a company that wasn’t the right fit, I found my true home at YDM, and I’ve been here ever since. In fact, I was the first duck to spread my wings and work remotely – before it became cool. It turned out to be a smart move, as my husband and I have relocated our family three times since then.
Being a homebody at heart, I reside just outside of Knoxville, TN, where the stunning mountain view makes up for the abundance of Volunteer Orange and countless renditions of “Rocky Top”. Designing is not just my profession but my passion, and I enjoy working with a local non-profit called A Step Ahead East TN and creating new products for my very own Etsy store.
I’m thrilled to bring my expertise, creativity, and love for design to every project I undertake. Let’s collaborate and create something truly remarkable together!
YEARS AT YDM: 9
Fun fact: Taylor Swift is my love language. I once took my PowerPoint skills to the next level by creating a presentation where every slide title was Taylor Swift song lyrics. It was a creative challenge that hit all the right notes. (See what I mean about the puns?)
