Kate Dougherty is a multidisciplinary creator and technical communicator with a decade of experience blending fine art photography and API-focused documentation. As owner of Kate Dougherty Photography she produces licensable celestial and architectural imagery that supports corporate storytelling, while her prior roles at DocuSign and Rackspace showcase deep expertise in API/SDK docs, XML-based CCMS workflows, and developer-facing content. She has measurable impact—reducing support case intent by 15% at DocuSign—and a knack for translating complex technical systems into accessible visuals and templates. Formerly an academic librarian and instructor, she brings rigorous research, grant-writing, and information architecture skills to both creative and technical projects. Based in southern New Jersey, Kate pairs in-camera photographic techniques with a pragmatic, test-driven approach to documentation and tooling.
