Bio
Bria Selhorst
Kaja joined our organization as our first Lead UX designer, bringing with her a wealth of behavior change expertise. Kaja’s years of UX leadership were quickly visible in her clean, clear, and elegant UX solutions. She up-leveled the entire team’s understanding of how digital products shape behavior by leading cross-org workshops and bringing innovative ideas to the forefront of plans. I’d eagerly welcome the opportunity to work with her again.
Peter Tuszynski
Kaja was a superb colleague and just an overall great person to be around. She's got all it takes to successfully lead a department (UX in our case) and much much more. Whatever task you throw at Kaja you can be sure it ends up being executed flawlessly and delivered on time. She also generously shares her wisdom both internally by mentoring folks and externally by speaking at major events. If I still worked in VC business I'd probably be begging her to take our term-sheet. Keep on rocking Kaja!
