work
Every project tells a story — a blend of creativity, strategy and problem-solving.

A founder-led website redesign for a UK leadership coaching practice — translating thirty years of expertise into a digital experience that feels personal, premium and unmistakably Karen.

Website Redesign & Visual Identity Alignment
Translating the merger of two Portuguese growth-focused businesses into a single, scalable digital home — clearer to navigate, lighter to read, and built to grow with the brand.
what i do
Four disciplines, one continuous process — from the first interview to the last deployed pixel.
Interviews, journeys and usability testing that turn assumptions into evidence before a pixel is drawn.
about me
Listening to the story behind a brief before reaching for a pixel is what makes an experience feel intuitive, meaningful and genuinely connected.
By design, not by accident — research and structure come before the pixels.
Every choice has a reason: hierarchy, spacing, motion and copy all argue the same case.
Built to last beyond launch — accessible, responsive and easy for teams to maintain.
