Testimonials

Jordan Kohl

Senior Software Engineer,

Ghost Inspector

Katie is an excellent designer, who was a pleasure to work with. She knows how to communicate effectively with everyone on the team, from the CEO to the UI engineer. Although she makes beautiful designs, she also has an understanding of the complexity it can create in the development process and is flexible and pragmatic about working with the engineering team to come up with the ideal solution to meet business goals.

Katie gets my highest recommendation. I have worked with her on many projects and she has always exceeded (very high) expectations. She has often turned around extraordinary results in ridiculously short time frames…She is one of the most positive and cooperative designers I’ve worked with. There’s never a hint of ego or design-for-its-own-sake. She listens well, interprets what she hears effectively, offers eye-opening suggestions, then puts her creative talent on every page.

David Dedden

UX Designer,

National Pen

To anyone that visits Katie’s website or her Dribbble profile, it’s clear that she has a solid foundation in design. She never sacrifices usability or readability for the sake of “better” aesthetics….Katie has consistently handled even the most challenging clients with the utmost patience and respect. Data-driven design doesn’t always align a with client’s sense of style, so she ensures that the final product is both something that the individual is happy with and will serve their business interests.
