My name is Kate, a Senior Product Designer who recently worked at Spark Mail where I led design efforts for desktop, iOS, and Android experiences, transforming how users manage high volumes of email with greater speed and focus. I played a role in establishing Spark as one of the top-rated email clients.

I believe thoughtful, well-considered changes create meaningful impact, and I'm passionate about elevating user experiences with smart, implementation-friendly approaches. I excel at turning complexity into simplicity while maintaining a user-centric approach to design.

My superpower is uncovering the simplest implementation path without ever compromising the user experience. I thrive on crafting mission‑critical productivity tools that feel invisible in use, so people stay in flow while their software quietly empowers them to get the most out of every day.

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.
