Doing the right thing,
doing the thing right.

I craft meaningful user experiences from start to finish, from research to strategy, design, and implementation. I also have a soft spot for marketing, especially branding, brand awareness, and lead generation.

Creative Director

It is rare to work with someone who continually exceeds expectations. Catalina has been that person for me. She is truly one of a kind. I have had the great pleasure to work with her at two different companies and I hope that I get the chance to work with her for many years to come. Not only is her work beautiful, fresh and smart, but she is thoughtful, kind, and a true team player. And, she is always looking for ways to grow her skills and push her designs to the next level, keeping abreast of the latest in UX and everything digital.
