Hey there — I’m Caroline, but you can call me Caro.
About Me
Resume
I’m a product designer with over 12 years of experience scaling early and growth stage startups and a background in architecture. At my core, I’m a builder and a maker. I design at the intersection of digital products and real-world impact — always with an eye toward what serves People in the long term, not just Users in the moment.
Currently, I lead Product & Design at Harness in NYC, where I help bring financial relief and clarity to startup founders, investors, and operators through thoughtful marketplace design, data insights, and collaboration with human advisors.
In both design and life, I value focus, resourcefulness, and intuition — honed through iteration, feedback, and close attention.
Currently open to Principal Product Designer roles (IC or player-coach) and select freelance projects.
