Hi! I’m Karen Gonzalez | UX/UI and Creative Unicorn!

 

As a Senior UX Architect with over six years of experience in user experience design, I have worked with many clients, from small start-ups to large corporations. I am passionate about creating user-focused products that are intuitive, easy to use, and visually stunning. 

 

I’m a designer who loves understanding people, solving problems, and crafting meaningful and delightful experiences. As a UX designer with a background in Visual Design and Motion Graphics, I specialize in creating beautiful user experiences. I firmly believe in designing with empathy, putting users at the center of every decision to create products that truly resonate and improve lives.

 

In my last project, I developed innovative solutions to complex problems using data-driven insights and user testing, leading to a 25% increase in user satisfaction.

 

As a team lead, I foster a collaborative environment, working closely with developers, product managers, and stakeholders to ensure seamless execution of user-centered design solutions (I’m a UX evangelist!).
