Hi, I'm Katy
UX Designer · UX Writer · Food Nerd

I'm a UX Designer focused on creating valuable, out-of-the-box solutions to real-world problems. I have a background in tech support, client relations, customer service, and a penchant for customer empathy and advocacy. I love a challenge, and find true joy in solving difficult problems.
A lifelong learner, I am always working to sharpen my professional skill set in addition to following my passions for food, music, and travel. I am inspired by tech's potential as a "great equalizer," and want to use my skills in user-centered design, leadership, and content strategy to build products that make a difference in people's lives.
