Kate Von Houck is a multidisciplinary UX/UI designer and certified Pilates instructor based in San Francisco with eight years of experience crafting user-centered digital products and movement programs. She has led product and design systems work at startups and enterprises—shaping SaaS onboarding and complex flows at Directly, PayPal, and Microsoft—and founded The Art Button where she owned the full product line and design system. Her background in video game interface design and web/new media gives her a rare blend of play-focused interaction thinking and pragmatic UX for enterprise tools. Currently freelancing in UX/UI while building a boutique Pilates practice (MNT Studio), she combines human-centered research with kinesthetic insights to design experiences that feel both effortless and ergonomically sound. Colleagues describe her as a designer who thinks in motion—translating posture, control, and alignment principles into intuitive digital interactions.
