Product Designer

Hi! My name is Karen.

I’m a Product Designer, artist, and writer.

Tap here for my most recent work.

 
 
 

More about me

I have an understanding of User and Business needs. When it comes to web and mobile design, I have a fundamental understanding of the business needs and development requirements. But I’m also an unrelenting advocate for the user, because I know that user satisfaction will ultimately benefit a business. I get excited when I can leverage design thinking and creativity to help make a user’s journey seamless and even delightful.

I have a background in writing and visual design

My background in writing and editing allows me to quickly craft excellent artifacts and presentations that clients can understand and gravitate towards. But as you can see from both my professional and artistic work, I’ve worked with lots of different tools, from Adobe After Effects to Ableton Live. I love to learn and I’m always game to jump in and try something that might be out of my comfort zone. I get excited for any excuse to hone the tools I’m familiar with and also expand my skill set.

I bring clarity to the problem-solving process, while treating others with kindness and generosity.
