Meet Kat!

Founder and Principal Industrial Designer

Kat Reiser is a strategic thinker, focused on detailed product innovation, getting to the heart of what truly matters and how to bring ideas to life through design. 

In her time as an industrial designer, Kat has had the opportunity to work with companies focused on housewares and packaged goods including PepsiCo, Chevron, P&G, and AB InBev, and Occulus.

Kat is an advocate for female-centric design within the design process and within the design community. Kat sits on the Women In Industrial Design Chicago Board and lead the charge for IDSA Chicago's Women & Design event last October.
