Kate Hughes

Senior Writer

My Background

For 20 years, I've explored the intersection of design and technology. My interest deepened during my tenure as senior copy director at Conde Nast where I wrote across titles, including Wired. I later covered business and digital innovations for Forbes and The Atlantic Re:think.

My Expertise

My expertise is in user experience and the changing ways we define that. Writing stories allows me to dive deep into human:computer interaction, accessibility, artificial intelligence and the future of UX.

When I'm Not Writing ...

I gather words day and night. My off-duty poetry has led me to readings and residencies, including the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.
