Kate Ushakova

Designer with 15+ years of experience driving transformative product design for top-tier financial institutions. From hands on design to design leadership and strategy, I always ensure my customers get the best quality design that puts the user first.

I deliver success through a clear user-centered design strategy, defining a product vision that aligns with company goals while empowering my team to stay focused on delivering impactful experiences.

As a leader, I foster a culture of continuous improvement, ensuring that our design process is not only strategic but also adaptive.

I also champion accessibility, ensuring that our products are inclusive and usable for all, regardless of ability.
