About me

Hey!
I'm Kate.

Senior UX/UI Designer · Product Designer · Web & Mobile · SaaS · Design Systems

Based in Lille, France

I turn complex product challenges into clear, thoughtful experiences that feel natural to use.

For more than a decade, I've designed digital products across fintech, crypto, AI, SaaS, healthcare and global enterprise platforms. I care about the person on the other side of the screen — and about connecting their needs with strong product and business thinking.

Design is more than my work; it's genuinely one of my favourite hobbies. Away from the screen, I'm happiest staying active — running, doing sports, travelling and discovering new places. That curiosity and energy always find their way back into how I collaborate and create.

Always happy to connect.

How I can be helpful

From idea to impact

How I can help your product.

I join teams where clarity, momentum and thoughtful product craft matter.

01

For new products

I can lead your concept from strategy to implementation — covering the full product cycle from ideas and hypotheses to development support. I conduct qualitative and quantitative research, generate and test hypotheses, create user flows, wireframes and visual designs for web and mobile, and validate them through usability testing.

02

For product redesigns

If you have existing software that could work better, I help transform it from friction to flow. I audit the experience, identify usability issues, improve information architecture and interaction patterns, modernise the visual system and deliver scalable, development-ready solutions.
