About Kate Lassalle-Klein

I’m a product designer with 7 years of experience breaking down complexity and creating intuitive and visually engaging interfaces with cross-functional teams, specializing in mission-driven organizations and initiatives.I strive to make digital experiences easy to use, accessible, and delightful. I focus my design craft on deeply understanding the problem space and the needs and motivations of users with inclusive human-centered design, creating systems-level understanding of flows, and working with my team to define scope and vision. From there, I prototype solutions, test with users, and spend hours refining interactions, affordances and visual design to make the product resonate with users. I work closely with PMs and engineers to ensure we’re meeting business goals and engineering constraints.My background in UX research and psychology formed the foundation for my love of understanding people\'s needs and finding solutions to real problems. My additional background in visual design and front-end development allow me to lead projects successfully through every phase of the product development cycle. When I’m not designing, I can be found happily swimming laps at my local YMCA ‍, befriending my neighborhood dogs and learning about behavioral training, listening to podcasts, and trying every possible local breakfast burrito spot.
