Hi, I’m Kara.

I’m a UX designer with a passion for human connection and creating meaningful experiences. I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Michigan State University and am currently pursuing a Master of Science in User Experience Design at Kent State University, graduating in Spring 2025.

Growing the sport of hockey is one of my greatest passions. As an active member of the hockey community, I’ve gained insight into the barriers underrepresented groups face in accessing the sport and opportunities to enhance the fan experience. My mission to improve user and customer experiences also extends to other areas, including my work with Campbell's Market Basket, a family-owned business where I assist with marketing and curating a wholesome customer experience to promote health and happiness in the East Lansing area.

Everyday people inspire all my projects, motivating me to create not only efficient experiences but also designs that connect with humanity on a deeper level. I’m eager to collaborate with others who share a vision for meaningful, user-centered design.
