About Me
Hello! My name is Karina Abreu. I’m a Technology Consultant and I solve problems by creating human-centered solutions. I'm curious about people and I like learning about what motivates us as humans. While technology and processes are important, it’s people, not features, that make technology work. I am particularly interested in the strategic use of technology and design to make vital connections between people, processes, and information.
After graduating with a BA in English from York University, I worked for several years in the nonprofit sector and had the opportunity to lead a number of technology implementation projects. It was here that I found my passion for technology and learned the importance of asking the right questions and empowering stakeholders through a human-centred approach.
As a Technology Consultant, I work with clients to identify opportunities to drive innovation through the implementation of digital technology and online services, with a focus on the user experience.
To compliment my work, I completed my Master’s degree at the University of Toronto in Information Systems & Design.
