Hola, I’m Karelys.

Experienced Product Designer at Nextdoor, driving innovation and leading the Feed team.

New York City
/
8yrs of experience

Right now.

I work on Nextdoor’s longer-term strategies, focused on driving engagement & revenue generation. I transitioned from Growth to become the lead designer of the Feed. Together, we have accomplished some pretty cool things.

Before that.

I was a  UX/UI designer at Lutron Electronics. I worked on several first-to-market products that represented new revenue streams for the company. I have very fond memories of my time working with and learning from so many smart people.

Along the way.

I made a pitstop into design consulting at Concentrix Tigerspike. I took on the fashion industry as an e-commerce designer for Cosabella. I do some freelance work and occasionally return to my roots as a graphic designer to do some passion projects.

A bit about me.

With eight years in Product Design, my work is influenced by a blend of experiences—from the vibrant streets of New York to my Venezuelan heritage. Anchored by a passion for people, products, and pixels, I approach each project by balancing business goals and engineering constraints, while unrelentingly advocating for the user.
