Hi, I’m Kat!
I am a graphic designer specializing in UX design, with a passion in blending user-experiences with expressive motion graphics. I enjoy combining visual storytelling with functionality to create digital products that are both engaging and human centered. Outside of design, I love reading and gaming with my friends.
