A little about me

Smiling woman with long black hair wearing a beige sweater and pants against a plain background.

I’m drawn to creating experiences that bring clarity and support when people feel overwhelmed or uncertain. I believe thoughtful design can help people feel more confident and cared for.
‍
Having spent my entire career in healthcare from both a clinical and digital standpoint, I’ve seen firsthand the impact that complex systems can have on patients and families. Those experiences shaped how I approach design today—with empathy, curiosity, and a deep respect for the people on the other side of the screen.
‍
I’m energized by meaningful problems, thoughtful collaboration, and the craft of creating experiences that are both useful and human. I do my best work on teams that value transparency, kindness, and helping one another grow, because the best products are built by people who genuinely care about the work and each other.

Outside of work, I'm probably eating my way through San Diego (Yelp elite!), doing pilates, or spending time with my husband, our dog Pepper, and our new baby girl.

I am always happy to connect so don't hesitate to reach out!

Testimonials

"I had the pleasure of working with Katherine day to day at Sharp and I can confidentally say she is one of the most talented product designers I've worked with. Katherine has an incredible ability to solve complex problems quickly and thoughtfully. She's always ready to offer creative solutions that strike the right balance between user needs and technical feasability. Her ability to juggle multiple high-priority projects at once is something I still don't fully understand. I am convinced there must be a team of Katherines behind the scenes. Beyond her strong design skills, Katherine is a fantastic communicator. She presents her ideas and design rationale clearly, heling teams align and move forward with confidence. She brings a calm, can-do attitude to every project and makes even the most challenging work feel manageable. Any team would be lucky to have her."
