Hi, I'm Cat and

I'm a New York City design leader who transform abstract concepts into 0-1 initiatives. With a background in solopenurship, I'm a truth-seeker who understands business, design, and technology at a global scale.
My differentiation is I model excellence in design with principled strategic thinking. Envisioning futures around the thorniest opaque complexity and disambigute growth frameworks and data infrastructure at Amazon. I center research insights into product innovation (JTBD) blueprints and create systems of convinction.
Over 20+ years, I launced products at agencies, soloprenurship, Fortune 200 enterprises, specializing in Apple iOS, e-commerce, design systems tooling, and art direction. I've been featured on Adobe, TechCrunch, Gizmodo, HuffingtonPost, and Engadget.
