I’m Kathryn Hopper, a senior designer with 12+ years of experience making complex information easier to understand and navigate.

As a senior web strategist at the Internal Revenue Service, I enhanced navigation, search and overall user experience at IRS.gov, which has nearly 690 million individual visits and 1.7 billion page views annually. My work supported a 47% increase in online transactions, from 1.4 billion to 2 billion.

Now, I’m helping organizations make strategic decisions about AI technology, design directions and implementation. I can help structure and communicate your AI strategy, conduct user testing and deploy the right technology for your needs.
