OPen

Hi, I’m Karmen.
I create digital experiences
for humans using technology.

Creative optimist, designer, matcha lover and a tree hugger from the north.

I thrive on tackling challenges and crafting meaningful, human-centered solutions. Originally from Estonia, I’ve spent over a decade in Switzerland, blending my Northern roots with a global perspective on design.

My background includes a BA in Product Design with a major in Fashion, along with training as a tailor, which gave me a deep appreciation for precision and craftsmanship. I graduated cum laude from the MSc Interaction Design joint program by Tallinn University and Cyprus University of Technology, diving deep into human-computer interaction, usability, and accessibility.

As a creative optimist, I thrive on turning challenges into opportunities, using design to connect people with meaningful solutions. I’m inspired by Scandinavian forests and and I’d pick a cozy northern retreat over a hot holiday any day. When I’m not designing, you’ll find me sipping matcha, painting or recharging in the nature.

Let’s chat over a great cup of coffee (or matcha)— I’m always open to new collaborations and creative exchanges!
