Hi! I’m Karina, a student at Stanford University studying Product Design and Human Computer Interaction.
I strive to foster meaningful connections and solve problems with human-centered and strategic thinking.
When I’m not designing, you can find me dancing, cafe hopping, and eating desserts.
Skills & Interests
My foundations in design are rooted in the Stanford d.school methodology, where I've cultivated a deep understanding of human-centered design theory and empathy.
My design practice focuses on UX design, particularly in wireframing, prototyping, interaction design, and storytelling. Beyond UX, I also have experience in graphic design, branding strategy, market research and analysis, as well as product management and strategy, emphasizing a holistic approach to creating compelling user experiences.
On the technical side, I am proficient in a diverse range of tools including Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, various programming languages (C, C++, Python, HTML/CSS, Javascript, React, R), and 3D modeling in Blender and Houdini.
