Hi, I’m Kate.

I’m a strategic designer with 8 years of agency UX design and strategy experience. I love advocating for user wants and needs, breaking down complex technical ideas for clients, and working collaboratively.

Curiosity and positivity are my guides, leading me to adapt in the digital space. I’m excited to put my talents to use for mission-driven work. My favorite places to play are in Figma, at my craft table, and on nature walks.

My Approach in Life and Work

Be thoughtful

to others and yourself. Speak your truth thoughtfully.
Be thoughtful about the project scope.
Be thoughtful about envisioning together solutions that work.

Find balance

in life and work and fun. Balance in visuals. Balance between user needs and company goals. Balance of ice cream and edamame, cause they’re both good unless in excess.

Embrace the flow

of life. Care about what you do inside and out. Stay committed to doing things well. 100%.
Embrace the flow of a project. Some days hair on fire, others are meant to be inspired.
Embrace the flow of a project, a workday, a career. Don’t hold too tight to power. Change is always on the horizon.

Be curious

about how we each see problems differently. Be curious about how your brother came to the opposite solution with sound logic.
Be curious about the magic of this big world we have been gifted.
Be curious about how others define success, meaning, beauty. Be curious about “the other” for they have a story too. Be curious about what makes you curious.

Stay rooted

to your values. To your mission. To what you can uniquely give to the project, the world.
Stay rooted in what you know and be generous with what you have. The client can still say no, and sometimes that’s just the way it needs to go.
Stay rooted in what matters to you, what gives you strength, what wakes you up at night.

And no matter what, enjoy the wonder of today.
