Oh, Hello there :)

Hi, my name is Kaitlin Brooks :)
I’m a visual & UX designer with a deep love of design systems. I work at Microsoft as a Senior Art Director, managing the design systems team in the Developer Division. Based in Napa, CA.

A little more about me

A few quick things about myself:

I believe good design marries function and beauty – something that works well can also be beautiful.

I like to help others, whether it’s end customers or the people I work with.

I think a solid design system makes everything better and life a bit easier.

Some practical things you might want to know

I work at Microsoft in the Developer Division (January 2018 - present)

I received my BFA in Communication Design and a minor in Social and Political History from Carnegie Mellon University in the Spring of 2017.

Looking for something more Formal?

When I’m not working…

I enjoy skiing, painting, drawing, gardening, hiking, riding my bike, playing video games, reading, and spending time with friends and family.
