Kate Buketava is a product designer and dreamer. She finds new paths where others see limits.

Case studies

Over 16 years in digital, including 7+ years I focused on design. I believe in design that converts, design that answers questions instead of creating new ones, design that stays aligned with technical reality, and design that remains clean and easy to use.
