About Katie

I'm a full-stack product designer and AI technologist based in Salt Lake City, UT. I design enterprise experiences end to end — from research and systems thinking through production implementation — and I build what I design.

I started in tech as an Appian developer on a Nasdaq project, realized the design maturity was low, and wrote a UX strategy that changed how the entire team worked. That pattern — seeing what's broken, building the case for fixing it, then fixing it — has defined every project since.

I'm a certified Claude Code Architect, which means I prototype directly in production-grade AI tooling. When I design an AI-native experience, I can also build it.

Currently at Ignyte Group, where I've led enterprise platform work for Nasdaq, the Florida Department of Health, the Massachusetts Executive Office of Administration & Finance, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

On the side, I'm building Birdseye — a consumer iOS bird identification app using Claude Code, featuring multi-modal AI across image recognition, sound analysis, and natural language description.

Open to Staff Product Designer roles at companies building AI-native enterprise experiences.
