Hi there, I am Kara, an adventurer by heart and a designer by trade! Raised in a family that actively travels the world, I developed a deep sense of curiosity and adaptability, always seeking adventure, connection, and empathy.
Pursuing my dream of studying in an artistic field, I found a home within UX Design, where I focus on creating interactive digital experiences and intuitive UIs that captivate users.
Having worked in fast-paced, collaborative environments, I excel at combining UX, UI, and interactive design to create meaningful solutions, while keeping tasks and teams organized and engaged.

My story begins when I was just 9 years old, and my family took me on a year-long adventure around the globe. From camping in the African wilderness to trekking to Everest Base Camp, those experiences shaped who I am today—more open-minded, empathetic, and resilient.

Pursuing a Passion for Design
After returning from a year of global adventures with my family, I channeled my love for travel into creative pursuits, helping with the Earth Trekkers travel blog and inspiring others to explore the world. In middle and high school, my passion for art shone through, earning me a Scholastic Art Award for a series based on our travels, and later, I painted a 60ft mural at my high school to boost school spirit. When it came time to choose a college, I followed my passion for creativity over the pressure to pursue engineering, leading me to SCAD, where I discovered my calling in User Experience Design (UXD).

My time at SCAD has been incredible, filled with collaborative projects like Cheers and close friendships with talented UX students who have supported my growth. I’ve taken on leadership roles, including project manager for a SCADpro course, where I lead a team of 16 designers to create a proof of concept for Deloitte. As a mentor to UX and graphic design students, and an officer in the Future Leaders of UX club, I guide and empower students by organizing events and offering 1:1 sessions. My involvement in design challenges and class successes has allowed me to become a role model for my peers.

When I'm not working, I love traveling, hiking, running, reading, and painting, always seeking new experiences that enrich my design perspective. I recently started competing in triathlons, and I have a dream of hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, a two-month journey from New Mexico to Washington State.
