Hi, I’m Kristin! I’m a product designer who genuinely enjoys messy, complex problems. I’ve spent most of my career in B2B SaaS, building new solutions from scratch and untangling ones that have grown confusing over time. I like diving deep into the "why" before shaping solutions that feel simple and intentional.
I enjoy working closely with cross-functional partners, asking hard questions, and thinking carefully about risks and tradeoffs. I care deeply about what we ship and whether it truly moves the needle for the people using it.
Outside of work, I’m usually rearranging a room to make it flow better, hunting for a vintage find, or taking up a new hands-on hobby.
I’m happiest on teams where design has an impact on product strategy, thoughtful debate makes the work stronger, and the team holds themselves to a high bar while helping each other grow.
