Carissa Lancaster Mohamed

Carissa is a designer with a decade of in-house and agency experience. She draws on her artistic sensibility for every UX/UI project she tackles and is known for her skill with clean design. To create an enjoyable, friction-free user experience, Carissa brings together precise details and a big-picture perspective.

Before joining the team at Knox Design Strategy, Carissa designed UX/UI for brands like Tom Ford, Calvin Klein, Nespresso, Ball Mason Jars, and Bloomingdale’s. Her work has won Gold, Silver, and Bronze through the w3 Awards, an honor sanctioned by the Academy of Interactive and Visual Arts. Although designing for law firms presents its own unique goals and challenges, Carissa maintains high standards for elegance, efficiency, and ease-of-use. By collaborating with her clients throughout the process, Carissa is able to showcase complex legal information with clean, simple design. It’s easy to get distracted by the sheer number of details, but Carissa’s aim is always to solve for the entire product, from start to finish.

In addition to her career as a designer, Carissa is a fashion photographer. She credits her fine arts experience as an important influence on her refined design style. In the past, Carissa has captured photographs for magazines, modeling portfolios, and multiple fashion week events in New York City.

Outside of work, Carissa is passionate about yoga, boxing, home cooking, and most recently, baking bread.
