My name is Kate, a Senior Product Designer who recently worked at Spark Mail where I drove design efforts for desktop, iOS, and Android experiences, streamlining how users manage high volumes of email with greater speed and focus. I helped Spark to evolve into an experience users genuinely love.

I'm passionate about elevating user experiences with subtle implementation-friendly designs. I strive to break down complexity into practical features while maintaining a user-centric approach at all times. I create productivity tools that blend into the background, so people can focus on their work while the software quietly helps them get more done.

When I'm not designing, I'm an avid long-distance runner with six marathons completed and currently training to qualify for the Boston Marathon.

I was working as a data annotation intern, where I helped collecting and labeling large datasets used for training image recognition models.
