Hi there! I’m Katie, and I’m currently working on making this website more enjoyable, engaging, and personal for everyone who visits.

As a strong Design leader, I am deeply focused on developing and implementing effective user experience strategies. I believe in the importance of building strong relationships across the various sectors of product, technology, and design, which helps to ensure that everyone remains aligned and informed throughout the process.

My goal is to create user-friendly design solutions that consider every detail from start to finish. I effectively lead a talented creative team under tight deadlines while successfully tackling challenging big projects. I am avid knowledge seeker and life long learner with an genuine passion for design, typography and hand lettering.
