Hi! I’m Karina, a student at Stanford University studying Product Design and Human Computer Interaction.
I strive to solve complex problems with human-centered design and strategic product 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 methodology.
My design practice centers on UX design, complemented by experience in product strategy, including defining product features, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and delivering user-centered solutions. Additionally, I have experience in branding strategy, graphic design, and market research, enabling a holistic approach to creating impactful, business-aligned products.
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.
