hello-world

Hi, I'm Katelyn :)

I'm a junior at UCLA studying Cognitive Science & Film/TV Digital Media, originally from the Bay Area. I am passionate about product equity, human-centered AI, and designing scalable systems.

I grew up tinkering in Adobe After Effects, where obsessing over frame-by-frame changes led me into editing and visual storytelling. That curiosity turned into a creative practice and an online community of over 13,000 followers, shaping how I think about narrative, craft, and the importance of micro-interactions ⛶

Now, I am a designer who thrives in bringing clarity to complexity, evolving design foundations, and making tools that feel intuitive and empowering for all users! ⊹

When I’m not moving pixels, you can catch me creating a new Spotify playlist, playing Teamfight Tactics (peak Masters), solving the NYT dailies, or finding my next cafe to log on Beli!
