I’ve always been fascinated by two things: making things “look pretty” and solving puzzles. While coding is impressive, what truly lights me up is designing experiences where every piece of information feels intuitive, every interaction is seamless, and people think, “Oh, That was easy!”

Hello! I’m Catherin,

Why design?

During my master’s in Human-Centered Computing, I chose to bridge my coding roots (thanks to my Computer Science background) with my love for empathy-driven design. To me, design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about empowering people to feel confident as they navigate digital spaces.

A story that shaped me

At the peak of COVID, during a training program, I met a peer from an Electronics background who was struggling with coding. She was isolated, anxious, and reached out for help. I reassured her, broke down concepts, and even doodled flowcharts over Zoom. When our professor noticed her progress, she gave me a shoutout—and suddenly, I became a team lead for a project! Leading my group taught me the magic of collaboration: listening to fears, celebrating small wins, and never giving up. When my teammates praised my patience and clarity, I realized: this is what design feels like—guiding people to their “aha!” moments.

When I’m not designing…

You’ll find me:

Looking ahead

I want to collaborate with teams who believe design can spark joy and inclusivity—whether that’s through accessible apps, tools for underserved communities, or interfaces that feel like a warm conversation. Let’s create digital experiences that don’t just work, but make people smile.
