Who is Cait Lepla

I’m a Canadian UX/UI Designer originally from Vancouver Island. I did most of my education in Calgary, graduating from Alberta University of the Arts. I returned to the West Coast and became a UX Designer in Vancouver, starting my own business, and shifted as a freelancer to Toronto.

I visited major US tech hubs in Seattle and the Silicon Valley to attend tech events and learn from the community. In 2019, I lived a digital nomad life and traveled through Greece, Singapore and then landed in Australia for a working holiday. In 2020 the pandemic kept me in Australia longer, and I continued to build my UX career internationally as a contractor. I’ve been in Melbourne, Newcastle and Sydney, working in UX agency-side, for government, and helping mid-size businesses scale internationally and adjust for country localisation (including languages; I speak English and questionable French). In 2022 you can find me living and working in Sweden.

My name is pronounced like Kate, short for Caitlin. Nice to meet you!
