Hey I’m Katie :)

With two years of experience in education and a recent pivot into UX/UI design, I want to focus on inclusive and accessible design.

Teaching and UX/UI design are similar in so many ways, both fields involve research, planning, collaboration, and a focus on delivering a meaningful experience all while being empathetic and cognisant of people’s needs, challenges and objectives.

Seeing how some students experience challenges has inspired me to focus on accessible and inclusive design, which led me enrol in the Digital Product Design at Sheridan College.

This experience taught me crucial design fundamentals, how to articulate design concepts and rationales clearly, and allowed me the opportunity to work with the Canadian Olympics Committee to create a mobile app that reflected their business goals.

And now as a recent graduate, I am excited to embark on my own journey into the field of UX/UI, and want to create meaningful, inclusive experiences for everyone!
