The best solution isn’t just effective—it’s the simplest.

Kathleen brings more than 20 years of experience solving complex design challenges across a wide range of industries. She’s collaborated with teams at small local agencies and large international organizations. Beginning her career in visual design, she steadily expanded her practice to include user experience design and research—and recently explored experience design further with a certificate in landscape design. Regardless of scope or medium, Kathleen applies a strategic, research-driven approach to achieve effective and graceful solutions—always asking herself and her team, “Is this the simplest solution we can find?”. Kathleen grew up outside Boston and is now based in midcoast Maine.

  • Kathleen has had the privilege of working at several agencies in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and with the talented TD Bank design teams in the United States and Canada. For the past ten years, she has played a key role in continuously optimizing the e-commerce experience for L.L.Bean, a heritage outdoor apparel and equipment brand based in Freeport, Maine.
