Hey there, Katie here!

I’m a UX Designer based in Denver, Colorado. Most recently, I led UX for a cybersecurity SaaS startup, taking a brand-new product from concept to MVP in under four months. With a background in product and operations at fast-moving startups, I bring structure to ambiguity, empathy to every design decision, and a collaborative spirit to every team I join.

My path into UX started in the travel tech space, where I spent four years working in product and operations. I became increasingly curious about the "why" behind the product we built and how design decisions impacted the user experience. That curiosity

sparked a career change into the world of design.

I now specialize in transforming complex problems into clear, user-friendly experiences grounded in research and real-world impact. I thrive in early-stage environments where I can shape product direction, collaborate across teams, and design with intention.

Outside of work, I’ve traveled to 49 countries (and counting), taught ESL across Europe and Asia, and have practiced dancing for over a decade. These experiences have shaped how I show up as a designer: globally minded, deeply empathetic, and always learning.

When I’m not designing, you can also find me hiking Colorado trails, planning my next trip, or catching a Broadway show.
