It's not just her professional skills that make her exceptional; it's also her personal values. Working with Katie has been a genuinely delightful experience.

She truly wants to understand user problems and always keeps the customer at the focal point of her work. Her strong product sense and dedication to excellent design makes her an amazing person to work with.
I worked closely with her both as an engineer and an eng manager on multiple teams/projects. She is not only a super talented, insightful designer, an understanding and reliable cross functional partner, she is also an inspirational and fearless leader. I've learned so much from her.
