Hi there

TL;DR — I'm a multi-disciplinary designer specializing in UX, IA, visual design, and design systems. I believe in the power of research, clear and consistent branding, and beautiful design. It's nice to meet you.

I currently design web experiences at Betterment, helping people of all levels of financial literacy get started investing for their future.

Before that, I designed at hOp, an Austin-based startup offering community-as-a-service to apartments. My work started with a complete redesign of hOp's mobile apps in only 3 months and grew to include hOp's first mobile and desktop design systems.

And before that, I was at thirteen23, an award-winning design and software agency. My client work included designing in-car audio experiences for Bose and mobile investing tools for Visa.

In my past life, I spent 6 years in marketing and communications, including managing Boston Children's Hospital's largest internal communications channel, which reached an audience of more than 16,000. These days, I keep those skills sharp by writing and editing UX copy, interview guides, marketing collateral, and more.

Let's chat

I'd love to hear from you about projects you're working on; horror movies you'd like to recommend; or your favorite tiktoks. You can send me electronic mail at: kkapiga@gmail.com
