Hi there!
I’m Kate Huezo — a UX strategist, AI-native designer, and logistics problem-solver. I help startups and enterprise teams turn complex workflows into beautifully simple products. From Appointment and payment management platforms for ports and railways to AI-powered assistants and predictive dashboards, I design experiences that reduce friction, boost retention, and actually make sense to the humans using them.
I also spend a lot of time vibecoding and experimenting with new UX frameworks, exploring how AI and human behavior shape the next generation of products. You’ll often find me at SF and Silicon Valley networking events, testing ideas with founders, chatting with engineers, and documenting those experiences on my blog.
You can explore my recent UX work in the case studies section.
What I Do
UX isn’t just a pretty Figma flow. It’s the bridge between your vision and your users’ reality.
I help you translate your product’s core idea into a journey that feels effortless — for your team, your investors, and your audience.
My work spans:
-
AI is powerful — but power without clarity overwhelms users.
I help AI and SaaS founders translate complex features into intuitive experiences that build trust, not confusion.When you’re introducing automation, personalization, or an agentic workflow, the first impression matters most. Onboarding, empty states, and microcopy aren’t cosmetic; they’re the difference between retention and drop-off.
Together, we’ll:
Map out the user journey from “What does this do?” to “I can’t live without this.”
Design flows that teach your product through action, not tutorials.
Build scalable design systems that make it easy to expand as you grow.
Outcome: A product that feels smart — not intimidating — and an onboarding experience that converts curiosity into habit.

I come from the logistics world — so I know what it’s like when one click can move millions of dollars in cargo.
B2B systems often drown users in dashboards, acronyms, and endless dropdowns. I help simplify all that noise into decision-friendly interfaces that empower teams instead of exhausting them.This means:
Clarifying how data is visualized, surfaced, and acted upon.
Creating role-based UX that matches how real users work, not how databases are structured.
Turning operational workflows into clear, confident actions.
Whether it’s an enterprise-grade TMS or a new B2B SaaS tool, I design with both the developer reality and the human mindset in mind.
Outcome: Faster adoption, reduced training time, and happier teams who finally feel in control of their tools.
-
We’re entering an era where interfaces talk back — literally.
But conversational AI and generative systems need a design layer that feels human enough to trust, yet structured enough to guide.For founders building creative or emotional AI tools — from agentic apps to ambient dashboards — I help craft experiences that balance logic and emotion.
This includes:
Designing adaptive interfaces that shift tone and behavior based on context.
Establishing personality frameworks for agents and AI-driven assistants.
Building multimodal design systems where text, motion, and emotion work together.
Outcome: A product that feels alive — not robotic — and creates real emotional connection with its users.
