What it’s like to work create with me
“I had the pleasure of working with Katherine at Level, a startup focused on the multifamily smart apartment space. During our time together we collaborated on three new web and mobile applications and designed an entire platform from idea to market.
Katherine’s passion for solving customer problems is readily apparent as she consistently strives to understand the customer from initial design to post market improvements. She excels at simplifying complex ideas, transforming intricate requirements into elegant, user-friendly interfaces which is evident in the simple but powerful applications we designed at Level to cover complex use cases.
Katherine brings a collaborative and professional demeanor to the workplace, fostering a positive and productive team environment. Her excellent communication skills and open-minded approach facilitate seamless teamwork and effective problem-solving. She is comfortable juggling multiple stakeholders while still driving towards a solution.
Her ability to balance aesthetics with functionality makes her an invaluable asset to any team, driving both user satisfaction and product success.”
- Shenali Ambani, Product Manager
“I was lucky enough to work with Katherine at Level. We tackled some pretty gnarly UX problems together. Katherine is smart and extremely diligent. I could always rely on her to do her research. Unlike many designers, Katherine excels in systems-thinking. She can quickly see how potential design decisions impact other parts of the system. In complex and technical work, this skill is invaluable. Beyond that, she's just a joy to collaborate with. I really appreciated her positivity, passion and empathy.”
