Kathleen majored in Design with a second in Computer Applications; she received her BA with honors from the University of Notre Dame.
She has been a freelance IA/UX professional since the summer of 2007, working to help both large and small digital agencies serve their clients. She also has a strong background in adult learning and training.
Her favorite projects are the messy, puzzle-piece projects where she has a chance to dive-in and make sense out of a pile of nonsense. She enjoys creating clickable wireframes.
Digital agency freelance partnerships have included: Via Training, White Horse, Sockeye Creative, The New Group, Get Happy Inc., Experience Lab, and Round House.
Through these agencies, client work has included projects for: Nike, Intel, Sony Playstation, Portland State University, Energy Trust of Oregon, PECI, Janrain, Portland Children's Museum, and the Oregon Historical Society (just to name a few).
