Hey there! I'm Cate, a Senior UX Designer with +15yrs hands-on experience in the design industry. I hold a Master's degree in Computer Science and a MS in Human-Centred Design and Engineering from the University of Michigan. Currently, I'm immersed in crafting complex software systems within a big corporation, specializing in UX story mapping, flows, UI, developing UI/UX patterns and components that drive seamless experiences across multiple products. I'm not just about the work, though – I also play a key role in guiding and shaping our design strategy and contribute to our esteemed style guide team.
In my journey, I've had the privilege of mentoring junior designers, helping them refine their craft by providing insightful portfolio reviews, interview coaching, and resume tailoring. Whether it's honing skills in software proficiency or nurturing a deep understanding of design thinking principles, I've been there every step of the way, guiding aspiring designers and career switchers alike towards success in the UX industry.
As a proud mentor at the University of Michigan, I've had the joy of witnessing designers embark on their professional journeys, landing their first gigs armed with newfound confidence and skills. My expertise extends beyond traditional design – I'm all about pushing boundaries, from crafting intricate interactive prototypes to building motion libraries from scratch for major players in the industry.
Looking to level up your design game? I'm here to lend a hand with portfolio reviews, interview prep, resume enhancements, and unlocking the secrets to crafting compelling career narratives. Let's embark on this journey together and unleash your full potential in the exciting world of UX design!
I am more than happy to help you with:
• Expanding skills in design thinking, journey mapping, and interactive design tools (Framer, Figma, lottie, etc.)
• Creating complex interactive prototypes and motion libraries
• Tailoring resumes, portfolio reviews
