About Katie Ess
Design Director at Work & Co
As a product designer, I strive to find ways to bring design craft into digital experiences. I've spent my career designing the apps for some of the world's largest legacy brands. From streamlining the McDonald's ordering flow to workshopping the future of smart mobility for Ford.
Outside of pixels my interests include design history, textiles, pattern design & puzzles.
