A Mythical Creature

I won't call myself a unicorn. A jackalope, maybe. I have a deep knowledge of design principles, processes, and metrics. With over ten years of experience across most industries, I've touched upon everything from trend forecasting to product marketing to managing MySQL databases. I strive to be a transparent leader and collaborative partner, focusing on solving the right problems with the right solutions.

Team mentorship and management

Collaboration and communication is of utmost importance to me. I have experience managing and growing teams of designers, as well as mentoring junior members of other teams to immerse themselves in design thinking. I believe design is the glue that holds teams together.

End-to-end interface design

I love to work on all aspects of a product. From discovery work to in-depth user flows to specifying every detail for development teams, I have experience in every part of the design process. My passion is creating harmony between product, development, and UX teams to produce an amazing end-result.

...a little bit of everything else

Having a varied background means I have a multitude of talents across the design field. Filming product videos, making clever CSS and SVG animations, organizing engaging employee engagement events - you name it, chances are I've dabbled in it on a professional level.

A curious KAt(herine)

In addition to my work creating optimal user experiences for software products, I'm a photographer, knitter, embroiderer, Cricut maker, handyperson, traveler, video gamer, and cook. I have a lot of passions that allow me to express creativity in many ways.

A Photographer of Thoughts

Spending five years as a lifestyle blogger, I've written content for brands like HTC, Subaru, ModCloth, P&G, Target, and more. I've continued writing over the years and you can find my design-related articles on Medium.
