Heyo! I am Karen Alarcon , a digital product designer from Queens, NY currently working at TransPerfect. I work on various products but primarily define, design, and iterate on GlobalLink TV our web streaming solution to manage corporate content. With a focus on UX Design and a passion for creating prototypes, I am always ready to dive into Information Architecture and UX Research.
Previously, I've held roles such as freelance illustrator, life insurance agent, and operations manager. Those past experiences helped me think about customer and business needs in my UX work. When I'm not designing I'm doodling, collecting souvenir pennies, and teaching myself new skills like 3-D printing and keyboard piano.

"My dearest Karen, I wish I had unlimited funds so that I could hire you full time...I hate giving a great review because I want to keep you as my little secret. Your work is top-notch and in the words of Mariah Carey, 'I can't live, if living is without you.' "
