Katie Meza
Brand Leader, Educator, Community Advocate
Katie Meza has spent nearly two decades designing at top West Coast agencies and in-house brand teams. Her work has been recognized by Cannes Lions, Fast Company, D&AD, One Club, and Ad Age.
For the past six years, she's worked exclusively in Figma, creating brand libraries, style guides, digital design, and social campaigns. She's taken the systems thinking behind product design, components, variables, and modes, and brought it into brand work.
She's mentored designers at every level and loves helping the creative community make Figma feel like second nature.
