Nice to meet you!

I’m Carina, a product and UX designer driven by empathy, curiosity, and a passion for making people’s lives easier through thoughtful design. My background in psychology has given me the ability to deeply understand users’ needs, listen actively to their experiences, and translate those insights into intuitive, visually engaging solutions.

I approach design with a balance of analytical thinking and emotional intelligence — digging into research to uncover meaningful patterns while staying attuned to the human side of every interaction. Problem-solving comes naturally to me, but I also value patience and adaptability, knowing that good design often comes from iteration, collaboration, and diverse perspectives.

For me, UX design is the perfect intersection of creativity and impact: combining my love for visual storytelling with the drive to create products that feel seamless, supportive, and genuinely helpful for the people who use them.
