profileKate Goff is a Perth-based graphic designer and photomedia artist who was born in Fremantle. She has recently completed a Master in Digital and Two Dimensional Design at Edith Cowan University. Kate combines her love for60s and 70s print media and graphic design with photography, creatingstriking images, which favour bold lines and contrasting colours. Her love forauthenticity and the hand-made aesthetic using a digital medium has madefor a unique signature style - an anachronistic and surprising series ofimages experimenting with photomontage, language and colour.
