I’m Kathy. I lead, design and deliver digital products in design teams I build and manage.

As a dynamic Design Team Manager with a deep passion for the intersection of design and technology, I thrive in creating spaces where innovation and creativity meet. My leadership style is rooted in fostering environments that encourage collaboration, nurturing a community of talented, forward-thinking professionals who excel in open, knowledge-sharing teams.

My dedication to crafting meaningful, aesthetically pleasing experiences has led me to conceive and oversee the development of numerous award-winning projects. These span a wide array of mediums including mobile, web, social media, voice, podcasts, broadcast, interactive TV, and print. I am also exploring the integration of AI tools into various creative and management processes to enhance product design, content creation, and team collaboration.

I hold a First-Class BA Hons degree in Graphic Design from Leeds Metropolitan University and an Art Foundation at Central St. Martins School of Art and Design, London. I am also a trained Mental Health First Aider and have certifications in OKR Coaching, Leadership and Management.

Currently I'm Lead Product Designer for Bauer Media leading cross-platform design on their new flagship digital audio product ‘Rayo’.

My previous role at Global Media & Entertainment saw me leading end-to-end design initiatives for Global's core radio brand audio apps and digital offerings. This role involved delivering compelling news and entertainment content, branding and user experiences across platforms including iOS, Android, Web, Social Media, TV and Smart Speakers, reaching millions across the UK.

Prior to Global, I worked at Sky across a variety of digital platforms delivering product offerings and brand experiences in sales, service, corporate and entertainment sectors.
