Kat Vellos

Kat Vellos is the author of We Should Get Together: The Secret to Cultivating Better Friendships and the creator of the Better Conversations Calendar and BFF Builder. A former UX designer for major tech companies, she now helps people foster meaningful friendship and community in environments not built for connection—which is most of them. This is why Kat advocates for urban design that supports and strengthens social cohesion. Kat’s writing is read in over 100 countries, and she’s been featured by The New York Times, NPR, Communication Arts, and The Good Life Project.
