About Me

My name is Katherine Duncan-Welke (but you can call me River) and I am a user experience designer and iOS developer from the United States. I'm passionate about improving people's lives through technology, and creating designs that help people and are fun, easy, and enjoyable to use.

I want to apply my skills to make a real difference for users, use my UX design knowledge to inform my iOS development (and vice versa) and continue to learn and grow as a designer and developer. I also have work experience in community management, where empathy and understanding towards users and their needs is essential too.
I'm seeking a work culture that values good communication and is collaborative, open-minded, flexible, friendly, and has a sense of humor (when appropriate). I have worked on in-person, freelance, and remote teams and have especially enjoyed working on remote teams due to their combination of versatility, diversity, and agility.

I designed and coded this website with Figma, HTML, CSS, and a little PHP. I have coding experience in Swift from iOS development projects, so picking up other coding languages comes naturally. I'm always interested in learning more, whether that's coding, new design softwares or strategies, or anything else that a role might require.
