I’m Katherine, a Product Designer driven by structure, empathy, and impact.

Over the past years, I’ve worked across health, e-commerce operations, and digital product teams, improving conversion flows and building scalable systems that deliver measurable results.

My background allows me to see both sides of every decision, the business strategy behind it and the human experience it shapes.

From Medicine to Product Design

Roots

Born in Venezuela, shaped by Latin America, currently designing from Europe.

I’ve lived, studied, and worked across cultures and that perspective deeply influences me.

Moving countries taught me adaptability, and studying medicine taught me empathy.

Design gave me the language to turn empathy and adaptability into measurable impact.

The shift

Since 2021, design became my way of solving real problems.

While working in e-commerce, I noticed users were abandoning their orders.

So I analyzed the flows, listened to real users, and redesigned the experience.

Completion rates increased significantly, reinforcing my belief that a good structure drives good results.

Now

I design digital products that connect with human needs.

Today I design for the user who almost gave up, and make sure they don't.

I care about structure, clarity, and scalable systems, but also about ethics, accessibility, and meaningful impact.

Technology is not the goal. The person using it always is.

Designing with someone else’s vision while honoring my own taught me the beauty of collaboration. I learned to prioritize accessibility and consistency, not just for users, but for how a product communicates its identity across every page.

Designing for real-world, everyday use challenged me to create intuitive flows for people with little tech experience. I learned that clarity is power, and that simplifying a process isn’t just helpful, it can build trust and confidence in the product.

It wasn't just about coming up with initial UI concepts, but about constantly refining them based on what people actually needed and how they interacted with the designs. Plus, I discovered how accessible and empowering no-code tools like Elementor can be for bringing those ideas to life and building a functional website quickly!

    Kathrine is just an amazing person. Her contribution to Petinder's new website has been crucial. She has been running the whole UX/UI part of it and also making sure that rest of the team members would be perfectly aligned. For sure I would recommend Kathrine to any new projects she's being considered for.
