Hi, I’m Katherine! I’m a strategic leader, UX designer, and multi-disciplinary creative based in Charleston, South Carolina. With over a decade of experience bridging the gap between high-level business goals and intuitive digital experiences, I specialize in crafting human-centered solutions across web, mobile, and brand ecosystems.

Throughout my career—including over 10 years driving e-commerce, UX, and creative strategy at Hampden Clothing—I have focused on translating complex requirements and customer insights into seamless digital products, engaging brand campaigns, and measurable business growth. Whether I am managing platform migrations to Shopify Plus or aligning cross-functional teams around a shared vision, my approach is rooted in empathy, clarity, and continuous improvement.

Equipped with a Bachelor of Arts in Arts Management and minor in Studio Art from the College of Charleston, I combine analytical rigor with creative execution. Outside of design and strategy, you can often find me outside in the sun, reading sci-fi books about quantum theory, or going to a hot yoga class.
