I do my best work on problems I believe in.I’m looking for the next one.
I’m a Principal Product Designer who spent almost a decade at TripIt — on purpose. I care deeply about the work, I move fast, and I’m told I can look intimidating until I start talking. My friends say it’s because I’m always thinking.
For what it’s worth, I’m also very small.
Kind words from awesome people.
“After working with Kat for nearly 10 years, I would recommend her without hesitation to any team looking for an exceptional product designer. She has terrific instincts, deep expertise across web, mobile, and design systems, and a rare ability to collaborate effortlessly with designers, product managers, and engineers alike— always keeping the user at the center and asking the insightful questions that make every project stronger. She’s also a wonderful mentor to other designers, generous with her knowledge and committed to helping the people around her grow. Kat consistently raises the bar for those around her and brings the full package: craft excellence, creative product thinking, and generous, trusted partnership.”

If something was missing, if a case study lacked context, or if you just want to debate the merits of Baldur’s Gate 3 mechanics, I want to hear about it.
