Ok, here’s the story.
Kaytee has worked in various design-focused environments over the past 13 years — from print production and publication design to branding, web, and in-house product design and design systems.
She’s helped launch countless brands and immersive digital experiences for clients across industries, most notably in eCommerce, courses and LMS, health and wellness, food and beverage, and real estate — collaborating with both local startups and international teams.
Before starting Ok Thanks Studio, Kaytee worked as an in-house Product Designer at Benevity. Where she led the design of their first native iOS B2B app, collaborating directly with Apple to craft an experience that empowers employees at some of the world’s largest companies to donate and volunteer through their workplace.
Today, Kaytee partners with agencies, companies, and founders of all sizes to bring ideas to life through thoughtful design that meets business goals and makes an impact.
