Katelyn Bryner

Hi, I'm Katelyn!

I'm a Senior Product Designer passionate about creating strategic design solutions that balance user needs with business goals. With over a decade of experience, I thrive on turning complex problems into elegant, user-friendly solutions.

I particularly enjoy analyzing omni-channel experiences related to loyalty, value and member engagement and translating the known and unknown into tangible recommendations.

When I'm not designing, you'll find me experimenting in the kitchen, building LEGOs, or exploring new places with my two dogs, Ollie and Miles.

My Top 5 CliftonStrengths

1. Strategic
I quickly spot patterns and issues that others miss, generating alternative paths forward and choosing the most effective one. I explore contingency plans and multiple options before pinpointing the best solution. My strategic thinking allows me to identify trends, notice problems, and devise alternative courses of action that others overlook.
2. Arranger
I'm both organized and flexible, enjoying the challenge of figuring out how to align people and resources to get the best results. I thrive when things go sideways, viewing it as an opportunity to juggle competing demands and modify plans. I excel at coordinating others' efforts to make groups more productive.
3. Learner
I have a great desire to learn and want to continuously improve. The process of learning excites me just as much as the outcome. I comprehend what has gone wrong by eagerly uncovering facts and sorting through information like a detective, bringing the big picture into view and generating solutions.
4. Ideation
I'm fascinated by ideas and see connections that others don't, viewing the world from different perspectives. I enjoy spending time with possibility thinkers and exploring intriguing ideas that no one else has considered. When nothing seems right, I create new options through innovative thinking.
5. Achiever
I work hard and possess a great deal of stamina, taking immense satisfaction in being busy and productive. I strive to complete many tasks prior to their deadlines and handle tension well, using stress to concentrate my energies on the right activities. Deadlines motivate me to be efficient and effective.

My INFP idealism drives meaningful solutions while my Type 8 directness ensures I advocate fiercely for users. Scorpio intensity drives me to uncover insights others miss. Combined with my strategic thinking, arranging complex projects, continuous learning, creative ideation, and relentless execution—I don't just design interfaces, I architect solutions that balance empathy with business impact.
