Hi, I'm Karis.
I specialize in turning complexity into clarity—synthesizing data, organizing information, and shaping insights that drive better user experiences and stronger civic outcomes.
My projects span sectors such as Education, Health Care, Clean Energy, and Social Services, with a focus on innovation and systemic improvement. Visual data storytelling anchors my process, helping multidisciplinary teams align around research-driven opportunities for service impact.
Certified in research with human participants (TCPS2 CORE) by the Government of Canada, with experience collaborating with diverse communities—including Indigenous groups, newcomers, and racialized populations—while upholding ethical standards and cultural sensitivity.
UX Process
I run agile, data-driven research cycles, breaking discovery and evaluation into focused sprints that surface challenges early and keep projects aligned with user and organizational priorities. Methods are drawn from a 100+ toolkit and adapted to meet privacy, documentation, reporting, and data standards.
