Hi! I’m Katie
Thank you for visiting!
I’m a designer and storyteller focused on sustainability + product design. I currently lead sustainable design for Google’s Pixel, Fitbit, and Nest products, working with various teams to integrate sustainability into the design process. This includes improving product lifespan, reducing waste, and developing responsible materials. Before this role, I managed the Home + Nest Industrial Design Teams, responsible for products like the Nest Mini, Nest Audio, Chromecast with Google TV, and Nest Wifi, which together won over 55 design awards and resulted in 600+ patents.
I’m a avid mentor and sponsor for women in design and member of Northwestern University’s Masters of Product Design and Development’s Advisory Board.
I enjoy solving problems and connecting ideas to make a positive impact through design. Want to chat? Share ideas? Please feel free to reach out via LinkedIn or email.
