My Story

Welcome to my online portfolio!  I'm Kari, a Product Owner with a passion for building digital consumer products that improve people's lives.

I’m currently working on the Amazon Shopping Videos team, creating experiences that help customers shop content they’re watching on TV using a secondary device.

From 2017-2022 I worked at both Discovery and Warner Media to launch Direct-to-Consumer products for CNN and Food Network brands. CNN+ offered customers a streaming experience with original live news programs, on-demand non-fiction films and series, as well as interactive interviews where users could submit questions that get answered live by experts. Food Network Kitchen helped customers discover what to cook and supported them through the process of planning and cooking delicious meals through live and on-demand cooking classes, meal planning and shopping list tools, and step by step hands free recipe guides. I’m incredibly proud of these customer experiences that I built alongside my business, design and engineering partners.

I started my professional career at GoodShop, an e-commerce site that’s partnered with 5,000 stores (like Amazon, Target, Gap) to offer users money saving coupons AND a donation to the charity of the users choice when they shop.  In the 10 years I worked there we were able to donate over $12 million to charities and schools, save user’s hundreds of thousands of dollars when they shopped online, and create a profitable business.

My personal passions include travel, photography, cooking, woodworking and hanging out with family and friends.

I hope you’ll take a look at my portfolio and travel photography on this site and contact me if you have any questions or interesting business opportunities!
