About
Hey there! I'm Caitlin, a senior product designer and a graduate of the York University & Sheridan College Bachelor of Design program in Toronto. I design and live by the motto "Clarity is kindness."
I'm immensely detail-oriented and thoughtful, and I find joy in connecting with others and bringing order to chaos. I mentor avidly in my community and also enjoy connecting as a mentee with other designers and leaders. My non-linear path as a teacher, web developer, and designer has shaped me into an empathetic, cross-functional collaborator with a unique ability to understand product development from various perspectives.
When I'm not designing, you'll likely find me exploring nature, lost in a sci-fi world, jamming on a guitar, or gaming.
