From a product manager:
"I had the pleasure of working closely with Katie on the same product team, and I can’t speak highly enough about her talent and dedication.
Katie’s exceptional attention to detail is unmatched. She has a sharp eye for spotting even the smallest inconsistencies and is committed to delivering designs that are both polished and effective. She’s also incredibly collaborative—always willing to listen, iterate, and work with the team to produce the best possible solutions.
One of the most impressive things about Katie is her ability to come up with innovative ideas that truly move the product forward. On one project, she identified key blockers in our user flow and devised multiple creative ways to help users progress through the platform. Her work didn’t just improve the experience; it made a tangible difference in how users engaged with and benefited from our product.
Katie is a designer who elevates every project she touches, and any team would be lucky to have her. I highly recommend her!"

From a peer:
"I had the pleasure of working closely with Katie on the Product Design Team and Analytics and Reporting Product Team. I was always impressed by the thought and care Katie put into her designs. She always worked closely with the product manager and research to understand the problem and user needs, and translated them into user-friendly, delightful designs.
Katie also put careful thought into content design, which I appreciated as a content designer. She was also very receptive to feedback—often sharing her design explorations in the weekly design crits, taking in feedback, and iterating. When sharing her designs, Katie always communicated clearly and articulated the problem to be solved.
Besides being a great designer, Katie was a wonderful person to work with. Her positive attitude and friendly, humble nature made her a joy to work with. Any team will be lucky to have Katie on board!"
