About

 
 

My name is Katie, and my passion lies at the intersection of creativity and organization.

I am a design system designer, who uses Figma to help companies build and maintain their internal design systems by ensuring quality and cohesion, creating documentation, and bridging the gap between components in the code base and what the UX designers are using.

The work found here represents that of an otherwise “generalist” designer (print, illustration, iconography, websites that I’ve designed and coded/built myself, digital experiences, fine art, etc.) The common thread is that each of these bodies of work addresses systems, be it in structure, content or the subject matter.
