KRISTEN

Work hard. Live intentionally. Do what makes you smile.

I’m a UX/UI Designer based in Austin, TX. I’m reaching the end of my apprenticeship at Bloc, Inc. in which I studied UX Design under a mentor while working full time as a Product Manager. I am actively looking to transition into a new role where I can blend UX with my Product Management background to create digital products that deliver measurable impact.

I majored in Biomedical Engineering from The University of Texas at Austin. After college, I launched my jouney in Product Management at athenahealth and lead frontend and backend initiatives to revamp and expand our scheduling platform. It was rewarding designing a product that helped make scheduling easier for patients and doctors - helping to make healthcare work as it should. I realized that no matter where I go from here, I want to make an impact by serving others with my design work.

I’m an avid minimalist living in central East Austin in a 600 sq. ft. home with my husband and cat, Dennis. I enjoy hiking and doing burpees at Camp Gladiator. One of my passions is traveling and diving into new cultural experiences. My husband and I make it a goal each year to take a trip abroad. Ask me about our latest adventure!
