About Me
👋 Hi, I'm Kari!
I was born and raised in San Diego, California. I’m a full-time Product Analyst and a recent UC San Diego graduate with a B.S. in Cognitive Science, Design & Interaction.
My love for design and technology started at a young age. When I wasn’t working on the class yearbook or capturing photos, you could find me teaching myself how to code my own website. I found my true passion in UX Design when doing freelance user testing. In the time I spent doing freelance work, I just knew I wanted to be a part of the UX world. I am passionate about building products that people love and enjoy using.
In my free time, I love cooking, photography, going on random foodie/sightseeing road trips, and playing video games on my PC.
