Hey! I’m Katalina. I’m a designer based in Los Angeles.

I started in UX/UI and kept saying yes to anything interesting, and that curiosity has been pulling me toward software and hardware ever since. Right now I’m designing for clients, learning blockchain development, and studying mechanical engineering. I’m happiest working with people who are building toward a vision, not just an end product.

When I’m not at my desk, I’m usually at Muay Thai, out on my bike, reading a book, or listening to the same song for the millionth time.
