Hi, I’m Kateleigh

I’m currently based in the Washington, DC area where I serve as a UX Designer for MLOps platforms in the financial sector. I connect the dots between user research and product strategy to advocate for users in every stage of product development. In a previous life, I led design teams at the forefront of customer experience and human-centered design in the federal government.

I bring my academic experience in anthropology and religious studies and past professional experience in human services to the realm of digital products—providing a deeply human-centered perspective to all of my work. I believe in the potential for technological innovation to meet some of our most pressing human needs, and I am passionate about designing innovative technologies that serve people first rather than the other way around.

When I’m not working or geeking out about the latest and greatest in design for AI, you might find me decorating sugar cookies, embroidering, or at a boxing class. My friends and colleagues will tell you that I have a weakness for quirky ice breakers, giant pandas, and obscure 30 Rock references.
