"After interviewing many qualified UX researchers/designers for our Sexual and Reproductive Health project in Latin America, we decided to work with Karla and it was the best decision!  Karla has a wonderful personality and is a pleasure to work with.  Her passion for the intersection between user research/design and its social impact potential was a perfect fit for us and provided synergy to our work.  She is not only skilled and adaptable at both research and design, her empathy and understanding of the diverse needs of people in various cultural contexts ensured that the richness of the research from the interviews, surveys, and contextual analyses, were reflected and represented in the UX and UI designs.  We are so grateful for her dedication and commitment to our project, and we look forward to working with her again on future projects!"

At Bodyignition, our culture and branding have always carried the DNA of our founders. That DNA has evolved with us over the years, as happens with any project born from passion and shaped by time. We’ve had plenty of good ideas, thanks to the creativity that defines us. But not all those ideas were tied to a clear strategy or supported by systems that ensured long-term continuity and sustainable growth. As a business expands to multiple locations and the founders shift into more strategic roles, important questions start to arise: How do you make sure the culture isn’t lost? How do you protect the identity when things no longer revolve around you as a founder? That’s where the guidance of Karla and her team at HumanXDesign made all the difference. They helped us give structure to what had previously been pure intuition. They helped us articulate, define, and systematize what came naturally to us, but was hard to replicate and sustain as the team grew. Today, BodyIgnition continues to grow with the same clarity of purpose that inspired us from day one,  but now with the tools to protect and nurture that essence through every new stage ahead.
