Hi, I’m Katrina. I moved to America from Uganda to study and received my MFA in Graphic Design from MICA. I currently work as a Brand and UI Designer with the team at Teal Media.
The key question for me is how can I use design to build on what people know and value so the work can be their own? How can design enable access and make meaningful cultural shifts that are more inclusive? How can I listen more and act with empathy?
When I am not working during the day, I think about our universe— but I don’t have any desire to leave the Earth. Often I’m trying my best to ground myself and enjoy studying forms that I would typically rush past. I think about colour, the relationship of tensions, the “body” and texture.
