Cath is an ASME-award winning editorial designer and art director working out of Richmond, VA. Her work is dynamic, irreverent, and gritty, and focuses on the contradictions and intersections of (what we all hope) is late-stage capitalism and tech. She is an edgelord with a heart of gold and rollerskates in her free time.
She got her dream job as the 100% remote senior designer for The Verge in August 2023 and she's open to freelance branding, design, and art direction opportunities.
