Everyone,

It is my great pleasure to welcome Kaity Hammerstein to the User Experience team. Kaity joins us as a recent graduate of the University of Cincinnati School of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning with a degree in Graphic Communication Design.

Kaity joins our Wikimedia Foundation as an Associate UX Designer, and will be working with the team on everything from mobile, to content translation, Flow, Wikipedia Zero, multimedia initiatives, and upcoming theme changes and onboarding and learning. Kaity’s focus for her senior thesis was how interaction design can improve the relationship of a user to journalistic content and media. Her experience in both Interaction Design and Visual Design will be a great addition to the group.

Kaity has worked with Cooper and Apple (twice) as an intern and has experience working with a range of platforms. She enjoys working with people from many different disciplines, such as engineers, artists and writers. She is thrilled to be part of the Wikimedia Foundation’s mission and looks forward to becoming more involved in volunteer opportunities. She enjoys exploring the beautiful Bay Area and baking pastries.
