My name is Katie Howard, I design, produce and operate on-screen graphics for the conference and events industry.


I have been working in the events industry for over ten years - for numerous clients on events and projects of all sizes around the UK and internationally.

I entered the industry as a production assistant and then moved on to specialise in design. I later became head of design for a production company with responsibility for the design of sets, branding, exhibition stands, logos, presentations, video graphics and on-screen graphics for all the projects produced by the company.


In 2003 a colleague and I decided to set up our own company to bring together our two areas of expertise – event support and web development. Brightfive was born and provides web development, presentation support, graphic design and interactive media to companies of all sizes. My roots lie deeply in the events industry, most specifically in producing and operating graphics for live events.

I enjoy the variety of working with different clients, on events for many industries, with different producers and in conjunction with other operators.
