# Katie Verrant > Lead Product Designer Location: United States, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/katieverrant My name is Katie Verrant, a Product Designer out of Montana. Before landing in Montana in 2023, I sold most of my things, moved away from Washington D.C, bought a 4Runner, and drove around the United States while working for two years. It was quite the adventure! While visiting New Mexico I read a quote by Georgia O’Keeffe, that resonated with me, “Where I was born and where and how I have lived is unimportant. It is what I have done with where I have been that should be of interest.“ Both personally and professionally this quote sums up how I think about life and design. At every company I’ve strived to do good and provide user experiences that helps better someone’s life. Whether that’s making someone more efficient at their job, so they can enjoy life outside of work or help provide a service that betters an industry. ## Work Experience ### Lead Product Designer @ 1upHealth, Inc.
