Design meets daily inspiration.

My name is Ashley Karr. I am a product designer, writer, and creator of Inspiration Affirmations—a collection of tools that blend creativity, insight, and everyday optimism.

With a background in anthropology from UCLA and a master’s degree in human factors and systems engineering from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, I have spent over two decades designing digital products for companies like Adobe, Oracle, and JPMorgan Chase. My work focuses on making technology more intuitive, inclusive, and human.

For me, design goes beyond screens and systems. It’s about how we shape our inner lives.
