Katy is a multi-disciplinary PRODUCT designer and sometimes developer in Portland, OR.
Her specialties are responsive user experiences, visual design, digital product concepts and graphic design.
After studying design and art at Fort Hays State University of Kansas, Katy moved to Los Angeles for her first real job in design at SWR Sound Corporation (now a Fender Musical Instruments brand). Her ten years in LA gave her a wealth of incredible professional experiences as a designer and creative team leader for agencies and brands of all sizes until she relocated to Portland in 2012. She loves the creative energy and has worked with some of the most unique teams and brands of her career in the City of Roses but is open to relocation and remote work.
