hi, im ktp, but you can call me katie!

I’m a front-end developer and graphic designer with a passion for creating human-centered experiences. As a first-generation student at Miami University, graduating in 2025, I’ve learned to embrace challenges and push boundaries. I’m loud, disruptive in the best way, and thrive on innovative problem-solving. At my core, I’m a people person—I care deeply about building relationships, fostering community, and making a meaningful impact wherever I go. For me, design isn’t just about creating; it’s about connecting, growing, and exploring how I can leave things better than I found them.

Beyond academics, I’m interning as a front-end developer with Orchard Digital Marketing. I’m also the founder and president of Miami University’s first design-focused professional development club, Design Collective. Our mission is to unite designers from all disciplines, foster community, and share resources to prepare the next generation of human-centered designers.

design brings people together.

I strive to enhance these experiences and redefine how my communities interact with design. My work is inspired by human interaction and the power of shared experiences. As a fourth-year Communication Design and Digital Marketing student at Miami University, I create personal and academic projects rooted in the belief that design can facilitate meaningful experiences and encourage reflection within audiences.
