ABOUT ME

Hi. 👋🏽

Hi. 👋🏽

I'm Karina.

I'm Karina.

I'm a UX designer and researcher who believes in the power of design to tell stories and solve complex problems. My work sits at the intersection of human behavior and decision-making — connecting dots to reveal the bigger picture, with a focus on projects that drive social impact.

Outside of work, you'll find me running, kayaking, or hiking — and spending quality time with my toddler, my cat, and my dog.

How I work

How I work

  • I like to ask questions to get to the heart of the matter and untangle complexity

  • Collaborating is my bread and butter and the best way to work with my team. I like to bring people along in the design process and make sure everyone's voices are being heard.

  • Humor and levity are core to how I work — I think the best teams are ones where people actually enjoy working with each other.

What I'm doing now

What I'm doing now

Currently, I'm consulting in UX and/or UI design, and UX research for a variety of design agencies and corporate companies. I'm also currently leading community-based design projects exploring how to build connection and foster community on topics such as sexual abuse prevention.

What do I want to work on?

What do I want to work on?

I am open to continue working as a UXer, and am also interested in getting more Service Design and/or Strategy Design experience.

Also, as a survivor of child sexual abuse, I'm also looking to tackle the challenge of child sexual abuse through prevention, community education, and trauma healing. Through design, art and writing I want to transform my personal narrative into visuals and writing that spark conversation and connection.
