Kara Jurgensen - Product Designer

Good design starts with listening

I rely on research and real user behavior to guide decisions and make sure we’re solving the right problems in the right way.

Consider every UX

I care about making things easy—not just for the people using the product, but for the people building it. That means designing intuitive flows, utilizing time-saving AI tools, async communication, and keeping my files, documentation, and handoffs clear and organized.

Partnership, always

I don’t believe in designing in a vacuum. I work closely with product, eng, ops– and anyone who has insight to share– to gather ideas, test solutions, and make sure what we ship actually works for the people we’re building for.

Leave it better than you found it

I try to notice what’s missing and step in where I can. When we didn’t have a design system, I utilized ShadCN to create one that could scale with us. When we needed deeper user insight, I put together a UX research platform proposal and implementation plan. I like finding small ways to make things clearer, smoother, or more thoughtful - because those things add up.
