Designer.
Teammate.
Sunshine lobbyist.
I am an experience designer who balances the needs of the user, planet, and business.
My many years of rowing cultivated a love for the outdoors as well as instilled in me the importance of teamwork.
My time slinging stretchy pants at lululemon pushed me to develop my leadership and to set big goals for myself.
Ingredients of Catherine
Curiosity
I am on a constant quest for understanding. I enjoy the act of learning just as much as finding the answer. Questions lead to more questions and I am satiated by being able to distill something into its most pure simple form.
Honesty
I am open and sincere. My conversations are real, transparent and vulnerable. I say what I mean and I mean what I say. I believe in the power of full disclosure and I listen to others. I let go of my ego, quiet judgment and avoid assumptions.
Courage
I relentlessly pursue greatness and I know the possibility is bigger than failure. I dare to look beyond what I know. I listen, ask strategic questions and reinvent myself or the rules if necessary. I take the step even when I don’t know what comes next.
Adventure
I seek the unknown. I love the thrill of not knowing what comes next. I actively put myself in new situations because I know that I will grow the most when I have to find my own way through. While I am thrilled by the beginner’s mind, I know that I have the power to create everything anew.
