About Caitlin Thakral

Senior content designer and UX manager at Uber

I’m a manager and content designer at Uber who moved into UX from a pretty untraditional background. I’ve also been called a content strategist and UX writer. 😉 I’m happy to chat about getting your first UX role, being the first “content person” at a company, working on bigger design teams, finding your voice with PMs, and moving into design leadership as a new manager. I’m committed to advocating for the diversity of teams that design for global audiences.

For those looking to transition careers, I used to work in a museum if you want to chat!

“Caitlin had so much great career advice for my personal context. I'm in my first design role and was looking to get advice around looking for design mentorship opportunities and what growth can look like leveraging the people I work with to get there. I got a lot of needed encouragement in what I am already doing and what I could do in the future. Thanks so much!!”
