Nice to meet you, I'm Katie.
I'm a second-year studying Human-Centered Design & Engineering and Data Science at UW Seattle. Growing up Vietnamese-American and steeping in both cultures during my childhood has driven my passion for bridging communities through design! I approach problem-solving with a unique blend of engineering and design processes, driving data-backed decisions and prioritizing empathy in each step.
When I'm not reaching my flow state switching between Figma, Spotify, and Pinterest, you can find me on the volleyball court, exploring Skull Caverns in Stardew Valley, or cooking up the latest recipe that landed on my TikTok FYP!

I'm an avid trinket collector.
Truth!
Sonny Angels, Smiskis, Hironos, Mofusands… there's nothing I haven't begun to collect!
I have over 300 hours on Stardew Valley.
I learned how to do my own nails to save money on my high school prom.
