Hi, I'm Katherine!
Featured projects
I've been working as a designer for the last 7 years across user experience, interaction design, and visual design. My strength is strategic product thinking across systems and organizations, and I often take on a dual design and product management role. Outside of “work-work," I love designing side projects, some of which are shown here.
Work

Designed new systems to prevent bullying, encourage positive interactions, and empower targets of harassment on Instagram.
Work
IDEO • Green Commuter Program
Created a pilot program encouraging Bay Area commuters to take alternative modes of transit instead of single-occupancy vehicles.
