Testimonials

A rare talent — someone who was incredibly talented and creative himself, but also interested in the values and talents of others.

Chris Mounsey
Head of UX

Karsten is one of the most talented and capable designers I have ever worked with. He’s a natural leader, was always seeking out areas for improvement and required little to no oversight across a huge variety of tasks.

Matthew Anderson
VP of Product

You’ve been phenomenal at bringing value to the team since the day you joined. Amazing at getting things rolling and getting projects over the finish line.

Khushnood Qadir
Head of Design

The relentless drive and passion for the work you do—it’s infectious. Your team is producing a lot of great work and having a great time doing so.

Daan Lindhout
VP of Product Design

You repeatedly get unprovoked positive feedback from not only customers but your peers and direct reports. You’re definitely seen as someone that brings everyone and everything together. You work super hard, own things and drive them forward like no other. You are a role model in this area for the team and the wider company.

Craig Trudgeon
SVP of Product

Without you, I don’t think I’d be where I am. Thank you for your never-ending support, recognizing my potential, and encouraging me to push forward.

Zain Adeel
Sr. Product Design Manager

I remember once in a review meeting when our team had fallen short, he stepped in immediately to take full responsibility, as if it was his personal shortcoming, when it was ours—sign of a true leader. That was stellar leadership, owning the miscommunication (or shortfall, or whatever you’d call it). Hats off to you. Mark of a good leader.

Eric Muench
Senior Technical Writer

He coached the team on strategic storytelling, helping us focus on the customer problem we were solving and the potential ROI. This approach not only elevated our projects but also helped me grow significantly as a designer.

Mario Avalos
Senior Product Designer

Karsten had a sharp eye for individual strengths and created space for each of us to lead high-impact projects that aligned with our growth. He also set examples by building strong relationships with our user researchers and technical writers, which greatly elevated the quality of our work.

Anh Quan Huynh
Senior Product Designer

Karsten also had a major impact on my growth as a designer—I always appreciated his candid, thoughtful feedback and the way he supported his team.

Nick Stoermer
Senior Product Designer

It’s not just the British charm or accent, or even his impressive pixels, but his authenticity and hard work. Karsten is a man of deadlines and diligence.

Andrew Sardone
VP of Engineering

The primary reason why I joined KeepTruckin and left a big company like LinkedIn was because of Karsten.

Richard Bustos
Design Engineer

You made sure the team had everything they needed to succeed. You made time for each one of us every single week.

Ahmad Abdul Rauf
Product Designer

He is able to prototype flows, and communicate the design thinking behind them effortlessly.

Phillip Wilt
Sr. Software Engineer

The personal relationship he has with every single colleague and the occasional tough love he provides lighted a fire in me. He made me and every member of the team a better designer, professional, and person.

Awais Imran
Product Design Manager

Combined with his competence, design taste, and attention for detail, what makes Karsten truly special is the care and energy he dedicates to the individuals on his team and their personal goals.

Robin Cruz
Product Designer

an excellent, honest person who has built a great culture, and I’m reminded of that any time I work with him or one of his team members.

Will Van Eaton
Product Marketing Manager
