FIG. 01 · About
I write the code. (Then I try to break it.)
I'm Katherine Malone, a web build and QA partner in San Clemente, in Orange County, California. I have spent five-plus years in code and QA. Today I build and test the websites and SaaS apps behind two studios.

Two jobs, one person.
When the person who builds it also tests it, nothing gets lost between handoffs. I know where the weak spots are because I wrote them.
Build
- Page layouts from a design file to working code
- Forms, sign up flows, and dashboards
- Mobile layouts checked at real phone widths
- Launch setup and handoff notes
QA
- Test plans written before testing starts
- Checks across browsers, devices, and screen sizes
- Edge cases: empty states, bad input, slow connections
- Accessibility checks: focus, labels, contrast
