Hallo! I'm Kara, a Lead Product Designer who thrives on the excitement of turning early-stage ideas into beautifully crafted, user-centered realities.

My sweet spot is in the discovery phase, where I can dive into understanding user needs and then jump into prototyping and high-fidelity design to bring those concepts to life. I love facilitating workshops, mentoring other designers, and creating a collaborative environment where innovative ideas can flourish. While I thrive with hands-on design work, I also enjoy helping others grow and get inspired along the way.

As a lifelong learner, I'm constantly evolving my processes to anticipate tomorrow's needs
