Hi! I’m Kristi, a senior UX designer
Currently, a lead senior UX designer that is in charge of two major products at a financial-industry company that provides world-class data and analytics via a suite of SaaS-based solutions.
Every team needs a creative muse
After a transformative turning point in my life, I made a bold leap from international business into graphic and UX design—and it’s been a journey I’ve never looked back on. UX design has become my true calling because it allows me to harness both sides of my brain—strategic thinking and creative vision—into one cohesive process. I thrive on solving complex challenges while crafting intuitive, user-centered solutions. It’s the perfect fusion of logic and creativity, where I get to combine problem-solving with storytelling. In essence, I’m doing what I love—delivering thoughtful, innovative designs that not only solve problems but also inspire.
