Hi there ✨ I'm Kristina, a Chicago-based product designer 💻 crafting meaningful digital experiences that are 👉 people first, market-fit, & impactful 💥

⛰️ How I got here
I started my creative journey in architecture with the passion to bring communities together through impactful experiences by empathizing with people's challenges and catering to their unique needs. Although I enjoyed the cross-functional collaboration and learning from diverse backgrounds, I became increasingly aware of contributing towards designs that didn't solve real problems. Design is a super-power that should be used for good!

This realization sparked my transition to product design, where I can now blend my design expertise with a deep understanding of human needs, technology, and problem-solving.

My passion only keeps growing by day by empathizing with people, learning as a forever student, and creating impactful and useful digital solutions.
