Kate Burgener

Kate Burgener Creative is an independent design business specializing in polished, mission-focused communications for nonprofits. Led by Kate Burgener, who has more than a decade of experience designing long-form documents, the studio helps organizations present their work with clarity, cohesion, and professionalism. Its central service is annual report design, transforming client-provided content and data into accessible, visually engaging reports that build trust with funders, donors, and community members.

The design process includes sample pages to establish a visual direction, a first draft combining content and design, two rounds of revisions, and final files prepared for print and digital use. Print support is also available to help manage production details. Annual report packages start at $2,000 for a 16-page report. In addition, Kate Burgener Creative offers document design and event materials, and provides a free annual report blueprint to help nonprofits plan deadlines, organize content, and shape their report. The studio’s approach emphasizes thoughtful layouts, clear visual hierarchy, brand consistency, and making complex information easy for readers to navigate.
