About

Me, in a nutshell

Hi.

I'm Kat. I'm an interactive designer and code-dabbler(HTML/CSS) based in Cincinnati, Ohio. I prefer Spotify to Pandora, and if you give me a DSLR and a free day, I'm a happy girl.

I graduated from the University of Cincinnati in 2008 with a Bachelor of Science in Design, where I gained real-world work experience in a variety of environments in their co-op program.

I am currently freelancing for a few awesome people and looking for full-time employment. I have worked at Barefoot Proximity, where my main client was Home Made Simple, a Procter & Gamble property. Prior to working at Barefoot, I was employed at Warner Bros Entertainment, Delta Air Lines, and CINMAR/Frontgate.
