Hi, I am Kate!
I am a product designer based in NYC.

Whenever I mention that I studied Cultural Studies before entering the field of design, I am often asked, "What is Cultural Studies? What kind of culture do you study?"

Essentially, Cultural Studies involves learning about how people create and perceive cultural products, such as films, novels, songs, manga, and even online forum comments. My previous academic training has honed my sensitivity to every detail of man-made products.

I am driven by a deep passion to blend my innate curiosity about humanity with my problem-solving skills. My goal is to create digital experiences that not only captivate visually but also meet business and user needs.
