Testmonials

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

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

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

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

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

Sr. Software Engineer

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.

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

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

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

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.
