Hey, I’m Kathleen.

I’m a designer based in Brooklyn. Right now, I’m at Spotify, crafting tools and experiences to help creators to connect with their audience and put their best foot forward. Previously, I’ve worked at agencies and freelanced with clients such as Complex, Toyota USA, Accenture, Mattel, Pfizer and more.

Outside of design, I enjoy exploring other forms of visual self expression through different means of creativity, spanning from branding, illustration and creative direction.
