Hi, I’m Kate! ✌🏼
I’m a Product Designer who is passionate about understanding human behavior and motivation. I love exploring and creating new solutions to what can be, difficult and stressful digital tasks.
My curiosity for understanding human feelings, habits, and behavior as well as my love for creativity drew me to UX Design. As a designer, I merge these two passions to create intuitive, efficient flows and designs that not only solve everyday problems for users, but solutions that push boundaries and improve the way we live our daily lives. I most enjoy creating solutions when working alongside a team, where I can constantly learn and ideate through lively discussion with others.
Outside of design, you can find me obsessing over symmetry at my local pottery studio, exploring the latest food spots in my city, or thrifting with an iced latte in hand.
MY VALUES
I’ve found that cultivating connections leads to a positive environment, improved collaboration, communication, and better results in both the workplace and personal life. Prioritizing relationships also create a sense of community, greater understanding, and shared goals.
💛 Relationships above all else.
More often than not, us humans can get caught up in the notion that we know it all. When we can let go of this little thing called ego, we open ourselves to greater learning and growth opportunities. This mindset encourages active listening and teamwork, which can yield superior outcomes.
🤝 Growth and collaboration over ego.
As both a human and designer, practicing empathy can be particularly advantageous. Listening then acting with kindness fosters trust and respect in relationships, indicating our appreciation for others' viewpoints. This is crucial to understand how others think and feel, allowing for better informed design decisions to be made.
☺️ Listen and act with kindness.
It is impossible for me, or anyone, to have complete knowledge about everything. By maintaining an open mind and acknowledging the existence of additional information, one can continuously learn and grow.
