Notable work
- Co-founder and co-CEO of Zoo, which develops an AI-native engineering platform centered on modern mechanical CAD.
- Zoo's platform combines point-and-click modeling, code, and AI while producing editable boundary-representation geometry rather than only mesh output.
- Frazelle helped start the company under the KittyCAD name in 2021 with Jordan Noone and Jenna Bryant; the company later rebranded to Zoo.
- Her earlier open-source work includes Docker maintenance and contributions across container tooling; her public GitHub profile remains a significant archive of container and systems projects.
- Her path from infrastructure software and Oxide Computer Company into hardware design informed Zoo's effort to rebuild CAD tooling around automation, GPUs, APIs, and modern software workflows.
