Hi!
I'm Katy Atchison
UX/UI DESIGN
PRODUCT DESIGNER
ARTIST & CREATOR
About me
I've honed my skills in conceptualizing and communicating design concepts through various techniques such as journey mapping, storyboarding, sketching, and prototyping. Leveraging these methods, I effectively translate complex ideas into tangible and intuitive designs that resonate with end-users. Collaborating with Product Management, I help define best-in-class customer and associate experiences for key fulfillment initiatives, ensuring alignment with business objectives and user needs.
Outside of work I'm an artist, mentor to local high school design students and journalist. As a curious person, I love to find new hidden gems locally, explore new art techniques and go on hikes with my scottie dog, Jasper.
