Hi there! I'm Karen, a product designer who bridges the worlds of engineering and human experience. With my background in Engineering Science and Computer Science from Smith College, I approach design challenges with both analytical precision and creative insight.

My design journey has taken me from Meta's video design team to enhancing healthcare workflows at Athena Health. I've consistently transformed complex systems into intuitive experiences that people genuinely enjoy using.

I'm fascinated by the intersection of technology and human behavior—finding those moments where the right design creates both business impact and user delight.

Beyond design, you'll find me exploring virtual reality frontiers, attending spoken word poetry slams, or hunting for the perfect ramen shop in whatever city I'm visiting. These diverse interests fuel my creativity and bring fresh perspective to my work.

I believe deeply that technology should be both powerful and accessible, especially for communities that have been historically underserved. This conviction drives my approach to every project: creating experiences that are technically sound, visually engaging, and genuinely inclusive.
