Karina Smith

PRINCIPAL

Karina is an award-winning designer, educator and humanist who has worked with some of Australia’s largest corporations, governments and social-enterprises over the past 20 years to design complex service transformation programs.

Karina joined Meld Studios in 2015. During this time her work has focused on uncovering new ways for banks to support small businesses; influencing policy and legislation reforms; designing places and communities; and exploring the future of retail.

Karina works alongside teams within organisations to help build their design capability, developing frameworks and toolkits that help designers and non-designers to build deep empathy with their customers and apply design methods to transformation.
