I'm Caitlin, a designer growing into a creative technologist through SVA's Interaction Design program. I explore how human-computer interaction can make experiences more inclusive, playful, and connected, on screens and off them.

About
Before SVA, I spent more than seventeen years in the outdoor industry and started Singletrack Studio, a freelance practice in UX, web, and brand design. I'm now in New York pursuing an MFA in Interaction Design, with a focus on creative technology and physical computing.
This semester I've been studying the history of UX and graphical interfaces while looking toward what's next in technology and design. On the making side, I've been drawing inspiration from music, play, and patterns, and exploring those ideas through Arduino and new programming languages, often with AI as a creative partner. For summer 2027, I'm looking for an internship in creative technology or physical computing, ideally at a creative studio, though I'm also open to product design and UX roles, where most of my experience lies.
