This was a project through Portland's Bureau of Development Services to build a community site for Yadi's Ethiopian restaurant during COVID. The goal was to give the community a gathering place online, somewhere to order food, stay connected, and celebrate the culture. It felt like genuinely useful work at a really hard time.

What people say.
Intuitive, collaborative, and helpful — Katy knows how to solve your problem and has consistently provided numerous sources of knowledge and personal growth. Katy wants everyone around her to excel and goes out of her way to help people find their strengths. I would jump at the opportunity to work with her again.
Few people I've worked with in my professional career have brought as much positivity, wit, and creativity to the job. I've found her to be driven, adaptable, passionate, and able to focus on the details while not losing sight of the mission. Her professionalism and empathy make her a true joy to work with.
...is an incredible collaborator, always bringing curiosity, ambition, and a can-do attitude to every project.
