Katrina Armistead

Katrina is curious about the gestalt of successfully manufactured experiences and products that sit at the intersection of physical and digital. She joined the MDE program to explore the relationship between human perspectives and meaningful interactions and to better position herself to make an impact not only in the end products and for users, but also for people she works with and leads. Prior to Harvard, Katrina studied at Northwestern University and earned a B.S. in Manufacturing and Design Engineering. She began her career at Accenture, working in business development and at the Innovation hub in Chicago. Outside of work, Katrina enjoys hiking, reading, and cheering on the San Jose Sharks.

Pre-MDE degree: B.S. in Manufacturing and Design Engineering
