Intro
Hola! I’m Catalina. I live in San Antonio, TX, but a native of New York City. I would say that I have been so long in SA that I consider myself a Texan now. I am currently working for a Minneapolis health care company called Bright Health Group, and my new and current role is a DesignOps Manager. I’ve been in the design industry for over 20+ years and have held various roles, including designer, producer, project manager, and the most recent DesignOps manager.
Ice Q
My go-to question is, “what has been your favorite vacation or where would you love to go on vacation”.
I ask this for two reasons; one, it gets people to a happy place before putting them to work and two, I selfishly like to hear about new places for me to go visit. (I love to travel).

Anything else you want to share?
My goal is to be the resource of knowledge and support to my team, and even more so if I can create and scale a design ops team and be the individual that can help those folks navigate through their role and space or work.
