Kate Griggs
About
Hello! I'm Kate Griggs (she/her) - I'm a Product Manager out in San Francisco. I work FT with Zendesk, on a team building their frontend UI experience for their Sunshine platform data tools, but I'm also a product consultant in my spare time - with clients from word-of-mouth and the TopTal freelance network. I'm working with an awesome web designer for my brand new consulting website, launching in October! Very exciting.
Outside of work, you can find me sweating my *ss off on a soulcycle bike - either in my living room or distanced-outside at one of the Bay Area studios. I'm excited to mentor someone who is passionate about an idea - helping them think through the necessary bits and pieces to get the ball rolling, research, validate, design, test, plan, develop, release, measure, repeat! I don't have a background in computer science - I majored in theatre and psychology - but I think that works well in my favor, since the hardest part of product is never the software, it's the people :)
Feel free to connect w me on Linkedin - I also manage a product-based twitter account where I retweet great takes on product development in general.
