Katie Patrick is a behavioral design and sustainability entrepreneur with 13 years of experience building tools, campaigns, and companies that drive real-world environmental action. As Chief Action Designer at Hello World Labs she blends behavioral science, gamification, and creative UX to help climate leaders scale community engagement, and she hosts a podcast translating environmental psychology research into practical strategies. Katie has founded multiple ventures—from a VC-backed environmental media company to a sustainable multifamily developer and a smart-meter CO2 startup—demonstrating a rare mix of systems thinking, product design, and storytelling. Her background as an environmental engineer and hands-on software designer (React/Node dashboards and kiosks) gives her work rigorous technical grounding, while her UN and public-facing campaign experience shows she can shift both policy and public behavior. An interesting through-line: she often turns technical data (waste streams, CO2 readings) into playful, persuasive experiences that make sustainability feel achievable.
