Hey there, 

I'm Kristen!

Product Designer. Empath. Advocate. Life-long learner.

I approach every day with compassion, an open-mind, and a healthy dose of curiosity. I apply these same principles to my design process, with the intention of creating meaningful experiences for all. I enjoy crafting solutions for real problems and would rather focus on how or why a solution might work, rather than why it won't. 

​

My background in human rights and advocacy fuels my belief that technology should be used to make the world a better place. I want to listen to understand, empower users to achieve their goals, and use storytelling to drive empathy.  

When I'm not pushing pixels, I can be found:

​

• scouring the Bay Area for Texas-worthy
  breakfast tacos 
   

• listening to a true crime or comedy podcast
  (The Alarmist is my current fave) 
   

• settling in to a good book (any suggestions?)
   

• taking a spin class

Let's get in touch!

I'm happy to chat about all things design, what to read next, or the Real Housewives. Feel free to schedule a call with me or I'm just an email or a LinkedIn message away.
