Hi! I’m Kristen.
I’m a product designer with a heavy focus on the user.
I currently live in Florida with my better half, our two dogs, two cats, and three chickens. When I’m not designing, I’m likely renovating my bungalow or trying my hand at a new craft.
I was a yoga teacher for over ten years before transitioning to UX design. During that time I learned how to be an empathetic listener, which helps me today when working with clients.
I will always advocate for the users while balancing the needs of the business, and I enjoy the challenge of finding solutions that work for everyone.
