About us

Katherine grew up in New York state and London, later living in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Paris, before relocating to Washington, DC in 2012. She studied political science and French literature at the University of Leeds, presenting her thesis on theories of political self-representation, memory and history in post-Vichy France.

She is associate editor of the Pulitzer Center and leads 'TB2: Mali's Ancient Manuscripts,' a Decode Global-Pulitzer Center co-production, supported by the ESA Foundation. At MIT Media Lab’s Datalore hack, her team built 'Forest Flip,' a game of aid flow and environmental risk.
Her work as stylist has been featured in editorials published by Vice France, Vice.com and Candy (#3).
