Yo, I’m Katy Ha ✌️

Previously the Design Strategist at pb+j, leading UX for B2B and D2C e-commerce experiences. Passionate about making things people actually like using. Based in Toronto. Currently freelancing while finding the next fit.

Some nice words

“To be honest, I’d love to poach Katy from your team.”

Want to know how often my bosses heard this, and why? Drop me a line and find out.

I’ve had the privilege of working with an incredibly diverse range of clients over the past decade — from SMBs to international organizations, niche B2B to national D2C brands, and fellow creatives in the arts. What I love most is the endless exposure to different industry verticals — each with their own unique user challenges and business problems to solve through design thinking.

My most recent role required a high degree of lateral movement and close collaboration with every single discipline on my team. At any given moment, you would’ve found me: drafting things in Figma; analyzing GA reports and heatmaps; co-building tech stacks; contributing to SoWs and proposals; driving scripts and strategies for usability testing; co-leading stakeholder meetings; refining internal processes; negotiating over QA tickets; firefighting emergencies; mentoring junior teammates; and swimming neck-deep in the backend of Shopify.

Oh, and making people laugh. 🤠
