About Kate
With a decade of experience across digital advertising, platforms, and media, I'm still curious about all of it: AI, how platforms shape culture, what the space is doing to creativity, and why the internet feels the way it does.
A decade of experience
What I’m all about
I’m interested in the gap between what we’re told the internet is for and what it’s actually optimized to do. Most tech commentary comes from the outside looking in. I'm coming from the other direction. I work inside these systems, which means I can tell you not just what's happening, but why it was built that way. I think that knowledge should be accessible to everyone, not just people already fluent in the industry. That's the lens I bring to everything I make!
