Catt Small's schedule for The New Frame

Come experience the work of 19 trailblazing experience designers from around the world. The third cohort of the Experience Design Certificate Program has spent the past year reimagining death rituals, community action, creative processes, reproductive justice, and responses to climate catastrophe. These unique interactive projects span 1-on-1 performance, collaborative cooking games, portraiture experiences, and interactive installation. Each piece is an invitation to cross the threshold into a new way of experiencing the world.

Led by Odyssey Works, the internationally-acclaimed group which has expanded the notion of experience design and famously made performances for an audience of one for more than two decades, the artists and designers of The New Frame will invite you to rethink the possibilities of design.

Featuring work by: Natalie Whelan ● Kori Martodam ● Jackie Moy ● Marc Chun ● Christian Howard ● Bonnie Gregory ● Sparks ● Karmisha Reeb ● Tara Odorizzi ● Simon Lyshon ● Zainab Azhar ● Steven Boudreau ● Smadar Krampf ● Joel Grinke ● Chris Sallquist ● Letícia Schuelter de Lima ● Rodrigo Correia ● Sara Behbakht ● Joni Chan

About me

Catt is a product designer, game maker, and developer. She is currently making awesome things at Etsy.

With a design career spanning over ten years, she has done design work for companies of all sizes including SoundCloud, Bedrocket, and Nasdaq. She started coding around the age of 10 and designing at the age of 15.

An observer at heart, Catt focuses on ways to improve the lives of people through design. She is interested in ways to increase empathy through interactive media. Many of her personal projects center around the human experience and tackle issues related to interpersonal relationships, self-expression, gender, and race.

In addition to her product design work, Catt makes video games by herself and with friends. She is one-third of Brooklyn Gamery, a Brooklyn-based game development studio that also organizes diversity-focused game jams and events. In her spare time, she organizes diversity and inclusion-focused events with Good for PoC. She sometimes draws comics.
