Hi, I'm Kristin Howard — UX/UI Designer

I’m a UX designer who started in a call center, listening to real user frustrations and navigating complex systems firsthand. That experience shapes how I design today. Based in Little Elm, Texas, I create digital experiences grounded in empathy and informed by business strategy, always thinking beyond visuals to workflows, constraints, and impact.
I’ve led UX across B2B and B2C platforms, turning research into scalable solutions that reduce friction and drive results. I care about clarity, efficiency, and building tools people can use with confidence.

I had the incredible fortune of having Kristin Howard as my buddy mentor during my summer internship at Lennox in 2024, and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better mentor and friend.
Kristin brings a rare blend of warmth, insight, and passion to everything she does. As a newcomer to the corporate world, I found our conversations invaluable. She helped me navigate delicate situations gracefully. She gave me the confidence to speak up and handle challenges more professionally. Having someone outside my immediate team whom I could trust and learn from made my experience so much more fulfilling.
One of the most formative moments of my internship was when Kristin invited me to observe the UX interviews she was conducting. Watching her lead with empathy and intention gave me a whole new perspective on user-first thinking - something that continues to influence how I approach any project I build now.
Kristin doesn’t just mentor; she connects, uplifts, and inspires, and I’m truly grateful to have learned from her.Sudeeksha Vandrangi

Sr. Manager UX • March 2025 • Gerry managed Kristin Directly
Kristin Howard partnered with me as a UX designer at Lennox International. When I brought Kristin on to the team, she was making the transition from a B.A. Her senior manager spoke highly of her professionalism and commitment to excellence. Over the next year, she poured herself into a new discipline, gaining certifications and additional education without being prompted. Her curiosity and thoroughness made her transition a natural. She quickly began to excel, becoming one of my go-to designers for many projects, both small and large scale. Her attention to detail, ability to process critiques, and preparedness were unlike anyone I had managed at this point.
Aside from her technical capabilities, Kristin is a beautiful person. She is thoughtful and very kind. She connects with people on a level seldom seen in a fast-paced environment. One of the hardest parts about leaving the company was knowing that I would not have Kristin on my team delivering for me or brightening my day with her willingness to learn and eagerness to deliver. I've said this many times to my Senior VP, and I believe it wholeheartedly. Kristin Howard is going to be a star in this industry. It was a pleasure working with her, and if fate allows I will welcome the opportunity to do it again.Gerry Roland
