About Kate Caldwell
Kate has been doing client experience research and design for over 10 years. She first started getting interested in usability when she realized that at the agency she worked in: ‘We made beautiful products that looked great, but weren’t so great to use, so not as great for the brand as they might be.’ To remedy this, Kate crossed over into strategic planning and started getting to know the end-users.

She hasn’t looked back. Kate is specialized in UX research and design consulting for e-commerce and new product/service development and market launches. Her skills range from independent expert evaluations, individual user-testing and eye-tracking studies, focus groups and ethnographic research to UX concept design, information architecture and interaction design.
