About Me

I'm Kara, a UX/UI Designer in Austin, Texas!

I've always been fascinated by the 'why' behind user experiences. Whether it's dissecting reviews before trying a new restaurant or sifting through online comments for genuine insights, my knack for seeking out and understanding feedback is second nature. My journey, spanning over a decade in retail, including management, trend forecasting, and digital strategy, has uniquely equipped me with a deep understanding of consumer behavior, visual appeal, and data-driven insights.

As a Senior Stylist at Stitch Fix, I've consistently merged technology with individual needs to deliver seamless, personalized shopping journeys. This, coupled with my experience in AI research, has refined my ability to analyze data and craft highly personalized solutions - skills directly transferable to impactful user-centered design. I pride myself on being a creative problem-solver with an analytical mind, highly organized, and a quick learner who thrives on collaboration and clear communication.

Outside of work, I’m usually with my dog, Joey, out in nature, or indulging my passion for fashion — whether it’s sewing or styling an outfit!
