DESIGNER KATE

Designing for the creator economy

From agency to in-house, I've designed for countless clients and experiences over the past 8 years.

As a hybrid product and visual designer with a dev background, I enjoy the full process of bringing ideas to life.

I currently lead brand at Alchemy where I empower developers to build apps for the creator economy.

I’m a lead designer at Alchemy where I’ve scaled both brand & product, now focused on brand.
Notable projects include:
  • Creating and scaling our design system
  • Redesigning our docs site
  • Leading design for key product launches

"Kate has been more than a designer; she's been a force of creativity, collaboration, and inspiration. Whether shaping our brand, being a key member of the design team, pushing boundaries, or solving the trickiest design challenges, she's left a mark that will be felt for years to come."

I led design at Helius across all verticals: brand, product design, and website.
Notable projects include:
  • Redesigning our onboarding and billing flows for intuitive crypto subscriptions
  • Creating a Dedicated Nodes personalized picker so customers are paired with the right solution
  • Writing and owning the roadmap for our developer dashboard
*Despite loving the team and product, I decided to move on after a few months due to values misalignment with how crypto was playing out in early 2025.

"Kate's an excellent designer. She took our vague, high-level objectives and produced the results we needed. She proactively consulted stakeholders, gathered feedback, and coordinated the engineering changes."

I make the joke about "surviving a design agency" but there's some truth to it. I had so much fun juggling multiple clients, project managing, and growing alongside other designers.
Notable projects include:
  • Redesigning Calendly's website and design system
  • Designing sites for multiple crypto startups
  • Mentoring a small team of designers

"Kate is a brilliant designer. One of her strongest traits is her ability to manage multiple projects, team members, and clients simultaneously while staying positive and optimistic throughout the process. Her kind and humorous attitude is infectious. Kate would be an excellent leader on any team."

Sr. Designer at Webstacks

Cool things that
cooler people say

"Kate is one of the most intuitive and creative designers I have ever worked with. She consistently takes in hard, technical, abstract topics and turns them around into elegant designs that our customers love. She goes above and beyond in not just generating designs, but suggesting new ideas that have always turned around rave reviews."

Noam Hurwitz

Head of Engineering @ Alchemy

"Kate is a wonderful human. I was lucky enough to spend a few months working with her to revamp our website at 4K Protocol, and the result speaks for itself. Not only is Kate a stellar designer with an eye for creative detail, she’s also a genuinely kind person willing to explore various solutions and accommodate feedback."

Andrew Harrison

Marketing Lead @ 4K Protocol

"The design files that I received from Kate are the best I've ever seen from another designer. Everyone who works with Kate comments on how talented she is and how great the work that she produces is. She's made me a better designer in the months that we've worked together."

Dan Bartow

Principle Consultant

"Kate recognizes the power that a great user experience has on the adoption and success of products. Her efforts result in more intuitive and adoptable product interfaces. Any design team, with a heavy focus on customer needs and benefits, as well as very high quality design standards and expectations, would be lucky to have her."
