keyboard_arrow_down K A T E Hello,
I’m Kate
Lead UI/UX designer, builder, problem-solver, & your go-to for turning chaos into clarity.
12+ years

A Decade of Design, Code & Creative Chaos

For over a decade, I’ve led design in complex, often male-dominated spaces — shaping intuitive experiences, guiding AI product innovation, and helping bold ideas grow into sustainable platforms.

How I think and work.

I design with both instinct and intention. I listen first, ask the right questions, and quickly connect the dots between messy ideas and clear user flows. Whether I’m collaborating with engineers or stakeholders, I work transparently and adaptively — always looking for that balance between vision and practicality.

I bring clarity to complex problems through thoughtful UX, clean UI, & collaborative strategy

UI/UX SaaS Design

Designing intuitive, scalable experiences for complex software products is my core strength. I specialize in user-centered interfaces that drive retention, reduce friction, and support evolving business goals — from MVP to enterprise scale.

Designing for AI

AI is only as powerful as the experience wrapped around it. For the past two years, I’ve been designing AI-powered tools that feel simple and intuitive. I specialize in turning sophisticated systems into user-first products, ensuring every interaction feels effortless.

Product Strategy & Vision

I bring design thinking into the earliest stages of product development, aligning user needs with business strategy. I collaborate closely with product managers and engineers to define roadmaps, prioritize features, and shape high-impact solutions.

Design-Dev Collaboration

With a front-end development background, I work seamlessly with engineers—understanding constraints, offering solutions, and often giving feedback directly in code. This reduces miscommunication, speeds up QA, and ensures the final product aligns with the design vision.
