Meet Katherine!

I'm a Product Designer with experiences in data products, healthcare, civic-tech. Recently, I designed tutor-facing features at PLUS, an ed tech initiative and obtained the Master's of Human-Computer Interaction from Carnegie Mellon University.

I discovered my calling while working as a Care Coordinator at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, creating streamlined experiences for clinicians and patients. Immersed in the realities of healthcare, I constantly asked "how could this be different?" The opportunity to create "small wins" through creative problem-solving inspired me to become a designer.

My sociology training from Vassar College taught me to question assumptions and dig deeper, skills that serve me well when untangling complex user needs.

At the end of the day, I believe life is precious and more than ever, designers have a responsibility to create technology that nurtures life.
