I’m Klara. I’ve been a product designer for over 10 years, working across various industries and products including B2B/B2C, SaaS, AI, and enterprise. My approach combines strategic thinking with user empathy, derived from an early work on environmentally conscious concepts and immersive cross-cultural experiences. I design as a storyteller at heart.
A big part of being a UX designer is understanding that everyone has a story to tell. It makes one ask the right questions that can lead to new opportunities and new ideas, and exploring those in cross-functional settings is one of the reasons I’ve found this career path so rewarding.
Today, I apply this approach across AI-driven healthcare and environmental solutions, gamified platforms, and enterprise systems. I also support early-stage teams through Klarko during 0→1 and strategic reset phases.
Led UX strategy for a patent-pending AI decision agent designed to reduce group decision fatigue through conversational interfaces—aligning social dynamics, individual health preferences, and sustainability constraints to drive confident dining outcomes.
