Cat is a mobile product designer in New York City
👋🏻 I'm currently at Martiancraft
I'm a product design lead in New York City, in the industry for over fifteen years. My background is in visual design and art direction. For the last seven, I'm self-employed and my specialization is native apps for mobile iOS and wearables. During this time, I've shipped over twenty applications. My past iOS projects have earned press mentions from Adobe, TechCrunch, Engadget, Gizmodo, Huffington Post, and Business Insider.
My current project for the past five years is a suite of seventeen internal tools for Enterprise Fortune 200 Oil and Gas client, est. total ROI $17M. Apps range from data visualization from dashboards, stocks, and financials for C-level executives, human resources, communication tools, asset management, and specialized engineering-focused live computations.
I've successfully pitched company leadership to allocate resources to establish and implement a design system to set standards and solutions in efforts to align mobile and desktop projects. I am the active builder of foundational design system frameworks and tools for efficiency at scale.
I immerse deeply to understand how design influences the businesses I work with, and how I can provide measurable long-term value. As our evolving landscape changes constantly, I thrive on projects that push me towards relentless reinvention. My interests lie in technology that disrupts traditional thinking and improves the human factor.

Mantras
Partner
I am an asset that contributes to a team’s efficiency, velocity, and effecting change. I possess the initiative, leadership, mentoring ability, and attention to detail necessary to execute a successful project strategy.
Design is in the Details
Rooted in the ideal that you have to deeply understand the essence of a product in order to get rid of the parts that are not essential. With the drive to immerse and learn, I am committed to producing quality work.
Intentionally honest
Gaining a deep understanding by listening from all informed views is my strength. I implement pragmatic, rational strategies and adhere to project constraints while maintaining the user’s viewpoints by speaking their language. I practice design with intention and honesty.
Forward-thinking solutions
I uncover the unmet needs of the target user and marry ideas between technology and requirements for business success. I invest strategically in areas that provide measurable long-term value in authentic user satisfaction, lowering tech debt, and increase universal accessibility.
