I geek out on people and design things that make their lives a little easier

Hi, I'm Kris. I'm a product designer who gets way too excited about understanding why people do what they do β€” and then figuring out exactly what to design so they feel like it just gets them.

πŸ‘‹ Hey, I'm Kris

Honestly I just want people to feel seen.

’m a product designer interested in how design influences user behaviorβ€”especially in onboarding, activation, and retention.I enjoy working on ambiguous problems and turning them into clear, testable solutions.

My approach combines user insight with iteration to find what actually works, not just what looks good.I’m particularly drawn to teams that move quickly, experiment often, and care about measurable impact.

Outside of Figma I'm probably somewhere in the Bay with Bunny, or noticing some weird UX decision in the wild and sending it to my friends who didn't ask.

πŸ” How I work

My process is really just a lot of questions πŸ€”

01πŸ—£οΈ

Listen first

I talk to actual humans before I touch Figma. What are they not saying out loud? That's the interesting stuff.

02🧩

Make sense of it

I find the patterns and the 'aha' moments. Then figure out what the actual problem is β€” usually different from what was asked.

03✏️

Design + test

Low-fi first, always. I make things scrappy, put them in front of people, watch what happens, and iterate.

04πŸš€

Ship & learn

Getting it out there is how you really learn. Design doesn't stop when the handoff doc is done.

✨ A little about me

Beyond the pixels 🎨

Cat person through and through

Bunny does not care about design feedback and honestly that's really grounding. Best coworker I've ever had.

πŸŒ‰Bay Area, CA

Bay Area local

Born and raised here. I love hiking and discovering new places β€” always on the hunt for new food spots and desserts to try.

I love to crochet

Making something tangible with your hands after staring at a screen all day is really satisfying.

Mental health advocate

It shouldn't be hard to find help when you need it. That's why I keep coming back to this space.

🧡Work in progress

Learning how to knit

A work in progress, literally. I keep dropping stitches and starting over. The process is the point, right?

πŸ”Why though?

Very much a "why though?" person

I ask a lot of questions. That's usually where the good design decisions come from.

great together ❖

Whether you've got a role, a project, or just want to talk design β€” I'm genuinely happy to hear from you. No pressure, no pitch.
