Hey there — I’m Caroline, but you can call me Caro.
About Me
Resume
I help 0→1 teams move fast and design with clarity.
I’ve spent the last 12 years helping startups design what’s next — from concept to scaled platforms. With a background in architecture, I care deeply about building for people, not just users. I create quickly, make things real, and always have an eye on the long-game.
Currently, I lead Product & Design at Harness, where we help startup founders, builders, and advisors make smarter financial decisions through AI and data-driven tools and relationships with real, human advisors.
How I work
- Prioritize momentum over perfection and clarity over cleverness
- Ship to learn — let designs be used, tested, iterated
- Develop systems to move fast and stay aligned
- Use artifacts and prototypes to bring ideas to life
- Make the complex simple
