Hi, I'm Katelyn!
@ UCLA, studying Cognitive Science & Film/TV Digital Media.

I am Product Designer who thrives on making digital experiences feel human ⊹


Growing up, I spent a lot of time tinkering on Adobe After Effects, where obsessing over keyframes led me into editing and visual storytelling. That curiosity turned into an online community of over 13,000 followers, shaping how I think about narrative, craft, and the importance of motion! ⛶


Right now, I'm probably creating a new Spotify playlist, playing Teamfight Tactics, solving the NYT dailies, or finding my next cafe to log on Beli!

WHAT KEEPS ME GROUNDED 𖤣𖥧

⚙︎ Design with the curb-cut principle in mind.
When you're building for the minority, you're also building for the majority.

✦ Craft with intention.
Every decision is deliberate, shaped by function over form.

✦ Craft with intention.
Every decision is deliberate, shaped by function over form.

✌︎︎ No one should grow alone.
I value strong mentorship, continued learning, and support systems.
