Hi, I'm Katherine✨

I am a UX/UI designer with a passion of making the world more accessible and fun for everyone!

Fun facts about me

📍 I was born and raised in Vietnam and moved to Toronto when I was 17 years old.

🎨 I've been drawing since I was five, and my love for art naturally led me to pursue design. In 2022, I started my formal design education at Sheridan College, working toward an Honours Bachelor of Interaction Design (3.8/4.0)

👩🏻💻 Currently, I’m a product designer at Hackville, gaining hands-on experience in user-centered design, wireframing, prototyping, and tools like Figma and Adobe XD.

💕 When I’m not designing, you can find me walking my cat, solving Rubik’s cubes, making latte art, and finding inspiration on Pinterest!
