About

Hi, I’m Cat Achieng, a Senior UX Designer, mentor, and speaker specialising in AI-enabled UX, digital product design, and human-centred experiences. I have over 8+ years of experience designing and building digital products across web and platform experiences. My background spans UX design, UI design, and web development, which allows me to bridge strategy, design, and implementation seamlessly.

Alongside my industry work, I actively mentor designers and recently spoke at Disneyland Paris, teaching students and early-career designers how to practically use AI in UX design from research and ideation to portfolio building and career acceleration. My approach to AI is grounded, ethical, and human-centred: AI is a tool to augment designers, not replace them.

As your mentor, I can help you:

* Learn how to use AI tools effectively as a UX designer (research, ideation, synthesis, UX writing, portfolio support)
* Build a high-impact UX portfolio with strong, hire-ready case studies
* Develop your personal design brand (LinkedIn, CV, case studies, storytelling)
* Prepare for UX interviews, whiteboard challenges, and presentations
* Improve confidence, communication, and stakeholder storytelling
* Create a clear, structured learning and career progression plan
* Understand how UX roles are evolving in the age of AI

I’m a strong advocate for continuous skill development, ethical design, and knowledge-sharing. My mentoring style is practical, honest, and supportive focused on helping you grow with clarity and confidence in a fast-changing design landscape.

If you’re looking to future-proof your UX career and learn how to work with AI not fear it. I’d be happy to support you!
