Hey! I’m Caitlyn. 

Or some call me Kat…

I’m a designer and builder based in Austin, drawn to clean lines, natural materials, and spaces and products that feel intentional.

I studied Environmental Product Design at CU Boulder, where I learned to approach design as an iterative process — one that values ideation, prototyping, and problem-solving just as much as the final outcome. My work spans physical builds, graphic design, and 3D modeling, often blending those mediums to create functional, human-centered solutions.

These days, I work on custom interiors — blending modern features with natural ones to create spaces that are both functional and personal.

Outside of work, you’ll find me exploring the area with my golden retriever, enjoying live music, or getting outside and playing sports with friends. I care about meaningful connection — in design and in life — and I try to bring that same energy into everything I create.

Lately, I’ve been into raw wood textures, soft lighting, and the balance of structure and comfort.
