About Me

Hello, I'm Katherine!

I have a strong passion for art and design. Creative, intuitive, and analytical, are all words that describe me.
In my spare time I love reading, painting, photography, movies, and camping.

My story

Chapter 1

When I was eleven years old, I was at the apple store with my parents and I saw the brand new iPad Pro.

From the moment I started exploring Procreate, I loved digital art. After that, I started saving up my allowance to buy an iPad that was compatible with Procreate. Four years later, I was finally able to get my  iPad with the help of my parents.

I spent countless hours drawing on Procreate. From there I took art classes in high school and my art evolved.

Chapter 2

I first learned about User Experience Design in high school when I was 16 years old. At the time I was stuck between choosing the art pathway or the science pathway.
I love the critical thinking and analytical aspects of science. On the other hand, I love the creativity that art allows me.
UX is the perfect mix of these aspects of art and science, making it the perfect career for me.

My experience is what has shaped my skill-set
