Hi I’m Kristina, a full-stack product designer.
I love working with people to solve problems that help other people and I bring over 15 years of experience to my work blending visual craft and user needs with business goals, to deliver results-driven digital products.
Currently I’m a Senior Experience Designer at JP Morgan Chase where I focus on shaping the future of foundational experiences across digital channels, for all customer segments.
When I’m not working, I can usually be found developing games, with my nose in a book, wandering around the city with a good coffee, or on the perpetual hunt for a friendship bracelet large enough to fit around my TV.
To learn more about me, or if you’d like to work together in the future, drop me a line.
