  Hi, I’m Kate, a Senior UX/UI Designer with 8+ years of experience at 
  Microsoft, PayPal, and YC-backed startups. I’ve designed everything from 
  enterprise dashboards to onboarding flows, and most recently, I built an AI 
  product from scratch at my startup.

  I combine deep user research with creative problem-solving to design 
  experiences that feel natural, intuitive, and purposeful. I love working with 
  teams to turn complex problems into thoughtful, user-centered solutions.
