About Cait Emma Smith

I’m an experienced and enthusiastic Enneagram 2, who loves her coffee as much as her alliterations. I come with a lot of UX, technical writing, and marketing skills. And as a former teacher, I know the value of intersecting those competencies.With me, you’ll get someone who will ensure you ship great projects and products—and who will invest in your team culture. I love exploring new design systems and processes. I get a thrill when I’m jamming on work in Figma with partners. I’ll always be on the lookout for ways we can be more inclusive in our roadmap. I get excited about building artifacts to communicate strategy and vision. “Cait is a very welcoming, inclusive and warm partner—and I’ve really appreciated her transparency and openness.” —Director, Product Management“[I was] struggling with intense imposter syndrome, Cait Emma took the time to get to know me, understand my strengths and help build my confidence to lead content strategy and execution for my product teams.” —Content Designer “Cait was the heart of our team and her authenticity and optimism influenced our culture.[.] She projects capability, but also warmth and humor, as she explains strategy.” —Director, UX Writing“Cait Emma is a galvanizing force to bring large teams together [.] making the remote work feel less remote and building a sense of team unity.” —User Experience Researcher “She helped the team outline opportunities to build a cohesive product and identifying an aspirational goal for the experience.
