Strategist. Storyteller. Experience Architect.
Hi, I’m Katharine — or Ruoxi, if you prefer a name with a bit more poetry. I was born in Jiangsu, China, and now live in San Mateo, California. My MBTI changes every time I take the test, which is fitting for someone who’s a socially introverted strategist with high emotional bandwidth.
I have a degree in Aerospace Engineering — not because I dreamed of rockets, but because I couldn’t afford a wind tunnel. The real reason? I’ve been a Formula 1 fan since my teens, and I wanted to build Kimi Räikkönen a fast, stable car.
Over the years, I’ve worked in startups and corporations across roles and industries. I’m most alive when I’m building something from scratch — a system, a brand, a story, a world.
Essays, fragments, story structures, and strange dreams — all stitched together here soon.
I'm open to collaborations that blend systems, stories, and strategy. Whether it’s a startup, a narrative platform, or something strange but meaningful — let’s build it together.
