Nice to meet you, I’m Katie!
I'm a recent graduate from the Rochester Institute of Technology with a bachelors in Human Centered Computing.
My design journey started all the way back in middle school, when I spent hours creating graphics and video edits for my favorite TV shows. It was just a hobby, until I discovered product design!
Today, I strive to design experiences that drive community engagement and make a positive impact. I believe that good design has the ability to bring people together and impact everyone.
I’m excited for my future as a designer and I hope we can cross paths along the way ⋆⭒˚.⋆
