Bio
Chela Giraldo
Katrina is my favorite designer to collaborate with at Unqork! We have worked together on numerous projects and formed a strong working relationship. Her passion and dedication shine through in all her design work. Katrina always goes above and beyond to ensure her designs are well-researched and validated through iterative processes and feedback from others, she is very open to collaboration and seeks input from various stakeholders and designers, she backs up her design decisions with concrete facts and numbers, making her solutions reliable and effective. Her constant willingness to showcase her work in progress and implement feedback to her work, demonstrates her commitment to continuous improvement. Katrina handles complex and challenging projects with ease despite the difficulty level. Her ability to take on big projects and find effective solutions shows her expertise and determination as a designer. Beyond her design powers, Katrina has a clear passion to foster a positive work environment in our design team. She takes the initiative to create an inclusive and happy atmosphere for everyone and contributes to a better overall working experience and better team culture. I enjoy every time I work with her and have a lot of admiration for her!
