about me

Katie Kostak

hi im katie! I graduated in 2026 from Tufts University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I was originally drawn to Tufts to pursue a dual degree in art, but instead fell in love with engineering. I'm a big believer that engineering is inherently artistic and creative, and love to express myself through the projects I do!

outside of art and engineering I love playing the violin, and staying active through climbing or going on runs. I am also a big lover of all things aquatic, and can often find me trying to find any excuse to insert my shrimp tank into conversation!
