Kat Moynahan

Kat Moynahan is a senior product design professional with over a decade of experience at the intersection of design, technology, and AI. She has led product and UX initiatives at Microsoft, JPMorgan Chase, and Accenture Tech Labs, where she built the Visual Literacy Program — a global capability-building initiative that scaled design thinking across a large practitioner community through adoption-first principles rather than top-down mandates.

Kat holds a BFA from Simon Fraser University and an MFA in Design from California College of the Arts. Today, she works with B2B and B2C startups on product strategy, journey mapping, customer research, and AI UX — helping teams understand not just how to build with AI, but how to design for it responsibly and effectively.

Her hands-on expertise includes prototyping with code and using AI throughout the design process — from generating and stress-testing concepts, to building interactive prototypes that communicate ideas with real fidelity. She helps designers move beyond static mockups and into working product thinking, using AI tools to compress timelines, sharpen decision-making, and close the gap between design intent and shipped experience.

Kat is also the founder of The Portfolio Sessions, a free weekly peer critique community for creative professionals, reflecting her ongoing commitment to accessible design education and professional development.
