Bio
Felicia Evangeline
Kate and I have teamed up a couple of times in Hackathon and Design Sprints, and her work ethic is beyond words! Kate is an amazing teammate to have and a great communicator. Her ability to comprehensively organize and manage the whole UX Design Thinking process- from research, ideation to developing a solution reflects her deep knowledge of the field. Kate’s hardworking and empathetic character shines through everytime- she’s always there to help and ensure the people she’s working with is not left behind and have a good experience. She is very meticulous and critical in user research- her attention to details in structuring research questions are exquisite. It’s always a delightful experience working with Kate, never a dull moment no matter how challenging the projects are!

I hired Kate in June 2019 after seeing her portfolio and receiving a strong recommendation from her former employer. During her time with our organization (16 months), Kate did not meet any of my expectations. Instead, she blew them out of the water. She’s ridiculously efficient, and is very knowledgeable in UI/UX (web) and graphic design. Kate’s attitude is also top notch; she brings positive energy to every environment, and she solves – not just identifies – prospective problems. I have no hesitation in recommending Kate, and look forward to seeing even more success in her career.
