About Katie

I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with brands like Clif Bar, ChildLife Essentials, Charlotte’s Web, Teatulia, and Theo Chocolate, as well as working in-house at companies such as New Hope Network, Natural Product Insider, and Informa. Currently, I’m a Senior Product Designer, Design Systems at Pearson, where I lead initiatives in design thinking, systems thinking, and cross-functional collaboration.

At Pearson, I led the design and launch of Pearson’s higher education consumer ecosystem by owning the end-to-end evolution of a cross-platform design system. Built and maintained scalable component libraries, design tokens, and Figma foundations across web and mobile, partnering closely with engineering to define component, states, variants, and theming. Championed accessibility, inclusive design, and modern UX standards to reduce UI clutter and design debt, enabling teams to ship faster with greater consistency, quality, and production-ready execution.

Before Pearson, I served as the Senior Design Manager at Informa, specializing in Health & Nutrition. There, I built and led the Content Marketing Design team, expanding it from one to five creatives. Together, we successfully scaled the Content Marketing Business to 50+ clients annually, delivering high-quality, targeted programs that drove engagement and brand awareness.

My career is rooted in wellness and mission-driven businesses, with a focus on design strategy, brand storytelling, and accessibility. I’m passionate about integrating my love for people, the planet, and purpose-driven brands into solutions that inspire action and social change.

Beyond my work, I’m deeply invested in fostering meaningful connections. I prioritize inclusivity, diverse perspectives, and positive team culture, believing that the best design happens when people feel valued and empowered.

Let’s connect and create something impactful together.
