About Kate Axelsson

UX Researcher at Microsoft

I’m Kate, a UX Researcher at Microsoft! I hold a BA in PR & Advertising and a Masters in Organizational Leadership and Change. I’m passionate about wellness, using UXR to advocate for more accessible experiences, and networking to grow and expand career opportunities. As a career switcher myself, I am eager to help others navigate the transition to UX and leverage their networks and connections to open doors faster and with more support. I’m here to be an ear and a sounding board for self-advocacy and offer encouragement to others that was so key in my own launch into UX. Pay it forward, as they say!
