Hi, I’m Karina.

I’m a designer currently working at Apple, based in the Bay Area. Before Apple, I worked at Deloitte Digital and focused on research and interaction design for consumer products.

I entered the design world in 2019 after realizing a career in international development wasn't for me. In college, I studied Political Science and spent the first few years of my working life focused on effective altruism and foreign direct investment. I realized what I loved most about development work was learning from end users, and I realized I was good at it. I began to see the parallels with user research in the product design world.

In the time since, I’ve come to identify with much more than the research side of design. Moving into this field tapped into artistic and creative interests I’ve had (and pushed aside) all my life, and I’m glad to be building on those through my work.

Outside of work, I’m passionate about interior and garden design, getting outside, and cooking⁄baking for friends and family.

You can find me on LinkedIn, X, and Dribbble.

BTW, you pronounce my last name like “meadow”.
