Hi, I'm Karen

A design engineer in New York. I spent a few years building internal tools, front-end systems, and interactive demos used by thousands of engineers, then went deep on fashion at Parsons and FIT. These days I build interactive tools that land where software meets something made by hand. How a thing opens, how it responds, and when it holds still are decisions, not defaults.

I build with React, Astro, TypeScript, and the Claude API, and I still keep an industrial sewing machine in the corner of the room.
