Designing with purpose.
Hey — I'm Kathlyn, a UI/UX designer with a background in film and tattooing, driven by a deep belief that great design should be felt, not just seen. My journey started with a curiosity about how to translate people's stories into visuals they'd carry for life.
Six years in the tattoo industry taught me how to build trust, listen closely, and guide a project from first consultation to final piece — skills that shaped how I approach users today. The emotional bonds I formed with clients made me curious about designing for mediums that are ever-changing, where impact lives in the experience rather than the ink.
Moving into UI/UX feels like a natural extension of this work: pairing my design instincts with data adds a new dimension of value I'm excited to keep exploring.
