Nice to meet you – I'm Karina.

I have a decade of design expertise across healthcare, gaming and live streaming. I’ve led design teams primarily focused on user acquisition and crafting UX-driven advertising strategies.

I had the pleasure to serve as the Director of Design at Twitch, where, alongside leading design initiatives, I prioritized nurturing the growth of designers on my team through people-first leadership. Emphasizing a customer-first approach, we developed product strategies that effectively balanced business metrics.

My skillset includes: product experience strategy & development, multidisciplinary team leadership, stakeholder management, professional development, Agile/lean UX methodologies, exceptional at fostering collaborative, inclusive environments for creativity.
