Hi, I’m Katherine—design leader, systems thinker, and your go-to for joyful, effective collaboration.
Leadership that’s equal parts structure, collaborative spark, and strategic foresight.
I won’t call myself a unicorn (a jackalope, maybe), but I bring together product strategy, design systems, and operational thinking to solve big, messy problems with a splash of color.
I lead by building strong design cultures—coaching teams, improving processes, and creating collaborative environments where people and ideas thrive.
From user-centered workflows to scalable systems, I design experiences that align with business goals—and stay ahead of the curve through research and trend insight.
Building stronger teams, smarter processes, and better experiences.
When I’m not designing, I’m writing about leadership, team dynamics, and design process on Medium. I also mentor designers across the globe through platforms like ADPList.
Here are the real reflections from the people I've supported and empowered.
I had the privilege of working under Katherine's leadership as a Product Design Leader, and her impact on my growth as a designer was truly invaluable. She provided me with the tools and space to become more autonomous while consistently offering constructive feedback that strengthened both my technical and soft skills. Katherine pushed me beyond my comfort zone, helping me build confidence and take ownership of my work.
Her UX leadership is unmatched, she was highly respected by her team and cross-functional partners alike. She had a keen eye for identifying potential in designers, hiring with intention, and nurturing talent to help individuals and the team thrive. Katherine’s success was reflected in the success of her team, as she selflessly empowered us to shine through our work.
As a manager, Katherine is empathetic, supportive and transparent - I always felt comfortable bringing any challenge to her, and she consistently provided clear, actionable guidance.
Katherine’s positive and optimistic attitude is infectious and it helps to bring the team spirit up. She always maintains a great attitude - even when working on complex and changing needs.

Working with Katherine was a turning point for us. Her innovative ideas were game-changing.
Katherine is an excellence-deliverer, a productivity-driver, and a people-maximizer. Throughout the time I spent working with Katherine as my manager, she modeled the value of those skills in creating cross-team partnerships to enable and execute high quality, end to end design.
Having Katherine on the launch team made it come true - and it continues to flourish. She combines wild imagination with the knowledge to get things done.
