Hi, I’m Cat!

Product Designer. Yogi. Dog mom. Boy mom.

(In chronological order.)

In my 15 years of design experience, I’ve mastered advocating for customer needs, juggling business goals, championing accessibility design and driving product growth and revenue.

I have had the opportunity to apply my equally empathetic and critical design thinking across products ranging from high-end Swiss beauty to audiobooks to complex digital payment APIs.

I would describe my design sensibilities as strategic, intuitive and delightful.

When I’m not designing (and designing), I’m a mother to my son Romulus, two dogs, two cats and seven chickens on my homestead in Hudson Valley, New York.

Outside of being a farm mom, I nurture my creativity through yoga, playing viola and piano and my budding rose garden.

What I’m obsessed with right now

🎻 Telemann’s Viola Concerto in G Major

While pregnant I had the strongest urge to play music (I tried many instruments as a kid, to my enjoyment and detriment). I took up viola and piano again in 2024. I’m over the moon about Telemann’s Viola Concerto right now.

📚 Roald Dahl’s The Witches

While I don’t have the reading time I used to, I’m re-exploring my childhood favorites with my son! I’m not sure it’s “baby appropriate,” but how many times can you read Goodnight Moon?

📺 Netflix’s Trainwreck Series

I should probably watch more shows that calm my nervous system before bed, but this series is my new guilty pleasure. I just watched the Woodstock ‘99 episode–harrowing!
