Crafting User-Centered Products with a Strategic Edge

Hello! I’m Christina, a lead product designer with a knack for blending wisdom, wit, and strategy across various B2B and B2C SaaS industries. As a staff designer at Hubspot, I guide cross-functional teams through big-picture thinking, influencing product decisions to align user needs with business goals.

My Guiding Tenets in Product Design Leadership

• Collaboration & Communication: I believe every team member has a voice. By fostering trust and openness, I create balanced workstreams that address both new work and technical debt.
• People-Centric Focus: Empathetic relationships are at the heart of my approach. I aim for partnerships that foster mutual growth and respect.
• Data-Driven Decisions: I combine qualitative insights with quantitative data to make decisions that address real needs, mitigate risks, and align with clearly defined goals.
• Quality Meets Pragmatism: Balancing user needs with business realities is essential to delivering high-quality products. I iterate and refine, always aiming for that sweet spot where quality and speed harmonize.
• Endless Curiosity: I approach challenges like a detective, constantly asking questions and digging deeper to understand the underlying issues. This mindset helps me stay committed to lifelong learning.
• Systems Thinking: By connecting the dots across different levels, I ensure that the work contributes to the larger product strategy.

Bridging Strategy and Creativity

My superpower? Bringing stakeholder voices into the same room to align on strategy and execution. And on the creative side, I channel my ideas into illustrations—a personal outlet that fuels my design passion.
