Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKate Chanba is a senior product designer with 12 years of experience, currently shaping the user experience of Apple Maps from New York City. Her background blends interaction design for public-sector planning at NYC Department of City Planning with hands-on cartography and transit-focused design from Conveyal, giving her a rare fluency in spatial systems and civic data. She has also run her own design consultancy and taught design at Pratt Institute, demonstrating a mix of practitioner, educator, and entrepreneur perspectives. At Apple she applies this multidisciplinary lens to complex mapping problems, translating large datasets into clear, usable interfaces. Trained at institutions including the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design and the School for Poetic Computation, she brings both technical craft and experimental curiosity to product challenges. Colleagues describe her work as thoughtful, data-informed, and unusually attuned to how people move through cities.
