Hey! I&#039;m Katy. I’m 41, originally from the Isle of Lewis (Google it! It’s beautiful!) but have settled in Edinburgh for the last 8 years. After working towards a PhD in Chemistry I moved into designing and managing interactive educational museums and from there found myself in EdTech. <br /><br />I’m currently a Program Director working in tech-enabled experience design. That sounds very dry - the reality is I manage incredibly talented people (immersive tech developers, UX/UI designers, 3D artists) in developing cutting edge tech that redefines the way we experience life. Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Simulations, Game Design - I&#039;ve led some fun projects!<br /><br />I&#039;ve worked remotely for 6 years so have experience of working from home - and elsewhere! - and understand how important it is to be able to feel at home (and well set up for remote work) in a mid-term rental. I&#039;ve worked from this home for 4 years, and at times have spent 1 month+ working in/from places like Denmark, Indonesia, Australia, UAE, rural Scotland and can&#039;t wait to explore more - slowly. We&#039;ve also set up our flat to enable the two of us working well around each other from here so rest assured - the WFH set up (and WiFi) is highly optimised!<br /><br />I share my home with my partner Aaron - we&#039;ve been together for 7.5 years! He&#039;s 36 and has lived in Edinburgh for 7 years. He also works remotely - currently for a medical AI startup and also consults on various healthcare tech projects in his ‘spare’ time! He travels a lot for work now, and I go with him when the destination is new/fun! A former NHS hospital medic, for a long time Aaron couldn&#039;t prioritise travel (his vacation dates were decided by his rota!) so now I&#039;ve infected him with the travel bug! We recently both travelled to the south of France for a couple of weeks for vacation and work - and having used AirBnB - we hoped to try Flatio ourselves as it seems better suited to our needs!<br /><br />We love Edinburgh and Scotland more widely and love to help people fall in love with it too! If there&#039;s anything that you require don&#039;t hesitate to ask.
