Kat at Work

I’m currently working as a Product Designer at Datasite leading the Design Systems team, previously leading research and design on the Datasite Analytics team.

From discovery to high fidelity prototypes, I’ve covered a wide range of the UX spectrum; with special focus on research, information architecture, and prototyping.

I (politely) question everything and rarely take any request at face value. I enjoy digging in to truly uncover the problem to be solved, while respecting business goals and maintaining speed for quick turn-arounds.
