Hey,
I’m KATRINA.
I’m a Naarm-based designer and I enjoy learning about people through research and great conversations. I’m always looking for the next opportunity to grow my expertise. And, perhaps a new trail to hike.
I’m a user experience designer by day and an illustrator by night – it’s nice to meet you!

Laundry day can be dreadful.
With the clothes we might have been piling up over the week, it tends to be a chore that needs to be done and best done quickly. This often leads us, do-ers of laundry, to feel overwhelmed and frustrated with so much information around proper care guides and fabrics. What does this circle with a wave and a line even mean?
LaundroHelp is here for you to do laundry easier
…and a little less scary.

I acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners of the land on which I live and work. I recognise and respect their continuing connection to land, waters and community. I pay respect to them and their cultures; and to Elders both past and present.
Sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was and always will be, Aboriginal land.
