Acerca de Karen
I have a keen eye for detail and consider myself to be an inherently curious person. After 5+ years working in Corporate Communications and Consultancy in Chile, I decided to travel to Ireland to improve my English speaking skills while working remotely as a journalist. After moving to Lisbon, I made a career change by enrolling in Ironhack's Web Development bootcamp, which led me to work as a Front-end developer for two years.
Working in the tech industry made me reconnect with design, an old interest of mine. I realised that learning about people’s problems and helping solve them in a creative and meaningful way through design is what truly motivates me. My goal is to keep learning about users’ problems to help solve them through digital products that are easy and pleasant to use.

Experiencia
- Freelance Web DesignerUX/UI DesignerAGENCIAS DE SUBCONTRATACIÓNenero de 2023 - Hoy (3 años y 5 meses)Lisbon, PortugalAs a freelancer, I was commissioned to design a book store webapp. The project included screens for mobile, tablet, and desktop views and entailed a research stage, the creation of wireframes, a style guide, and a final phase of UI design. The webapp design will be used by a coding school as a challenge for its students. They will use the mockup as a guide to write the code for this fictional bookstore in order to improve their coding skills. I was chosen for this project due to my experience as a Front-end developer.
