Hello, I'm KaRen,

I’ve interested in art and design since I was a kid, especially anime styled. I decided to study UX during my BA, and I’ve been sticking with it ever since. Creating illustrations is something I still do for fun.

I'm a rule-breaker who loves creating bold, maximalist designs that still stay functional and user-friendly.

My strong design backgrounds influence me to create eye-catching, not-boring products. Howeverrr, I’ve got that researcher side too, which helps me dive deep into user needs and craft intuitive digital experiences.
