Hello, I'm Katherine!
My love for making things started at a young age with summer art classes and weekends at Michaels picking out supplies. I eventually ended up studying architecture at the University of California, Berkeley. After many hours in design studios, I realized my passion was not in designing buildings, but in designing for human needs and experiences. I’ve been fortunate enough to apply human-centered design to the worlds of healthcare, local government, and retail.
I am a design research leader with 10+ years of experience building research capabilities and leading project teams. I have proven success directing mixed-methods research programs, mentoring teams, and translating insights into strategies that shape user experiences and drive growth.
I live in Minneapolis with my wonderful husband and adorable toddler. I am a native Californian who feel love with the Twin Cities (minus the winters). Please drop me a line, I would love to connect!
