I’m Kathryn, a design leader with experience in enterprise business, small businesses, govtech, and marketing agencies.
I simplify complex systems into intuitive user journeys, crafting seamless and impactful experiences.
Specialized in enterprise products, branding, user experience, and Human-Centered Design (HCD), I blend design, strategy, and technology to drive meaningful solutions.
My background began in Fine Art and Portraiture before I pivoted to UX and HCD at Purchase College, leading me to work across startups, small businesses, and government projects.
Beyond design, I’m passionate about third spaces, the evolution of eye contact in an increasingly remote world, reducing waste, and making more time for life, love, and community.
If you can’t find me at my computer, I’m either drawing, reading, biking, running, hiking, gaming, re-watching Lord of the Rings extended edition, or enjoying a coffee at one of my favorite coffee shops.
