About Cate Johnson
Hey Linkedin! I am a globally oriented design thinking practitioner, trusted leadership coach, and innovative facilitator. I drive progress through liberating spaces, transformational action, and matriarchal leadership rooted in community building.Throughout my career, I have led design sprints, leadership workshops, consulting projects, and events with a wide range of partners - from NFL athletes to NASA scientists to doctors, farmers, teachers, bankers, and beyond. In 2024, I was proud to produce and speak in an interactive design track session at SXSW on \"Matriarch-Centered Design\". Check out a live recording here: not in front of a computer screen or whiteboard, you can find me snuggling my rescue pup Luna, volunteering with horses, or hiking mountains around the world.
