👋 Hi! I'm Katrina. I've been building things since college, where I split my time between cognitive science and theater. At The Garage, I founded BreadUp (prev. Bite-2-Better), a marketplace connecting student organizations with local businesses, which taught me most of what I know about finding a real problem before building for it. When the AI wave hit, I leaned into my own AI background and got as much hands-on time with LLMs as I could—including understanding how these models break, how they actually behave, and how that compares with how they present themselves. I've carried that into product ever since, and still build my own AI projects on the side when I can.
Today, most of my curiosity lives at the intersection of consumer AI, 0→1 products, and technology in the entertainment space—where technical and creative problems start to merge.
If you're building in any of these spaces, I'd love to chat 🤗
