About Me

Kara Klefos Profile

I'm Kara, a Product & UX/UI Designer in Austin, Texas!

My career began in fashion merchandising and bridal management. This wasn't just about aesthetics; it was about empathy and business logic. I spent years predicting trends, managing teams, and learning how to translate a client's vague needs into a perfect, tangible result. At Second Summer Bride, I realized that a better website layout could directly drive business growth, leading to a 25% increase in inquiries.
