Simple. Strategic.
Slightly obsessive

I design digital products that just work. No magic required.

I'm Krisztian Kari-Horvath, a Staff Product Designer who believes the best products are built through clarity, collaboration, and a touch of healthy perfectionism.

I work closely with engineers and product managers to turn ambiguity into alignment, translating strategy into experiences that feel simple, scalable, and quietly powerful. My process is equal parts systems thinking and creative problem-solving, guided by the belief that great design doesn't draw attention to itself it just works.

2023 GoTo Staff Product Designer

I lead design across GoTo's collaboration suite, turning ambiguity into scalable systems and shipped outcomes. Working end to end with product and engineering, I deliver experiences that feel clear, fast, and resilient.

I balance systems thinking with hands-on craft: set shared standards, align teams around simple mental models, and validate with evidence. I also help shape roadmaps, mentor designers, and nurture a collaborative, accountable culture.
