hello!
I'm Kayla ✨
a designer specializing in UX/UI design, user research, and visual design.

I design because I am passionate about human connection and interaction and want to help create easier and more enjoyable experiences.

In my spare time, you can find me making art, playing games, knitting/crocheting, or trying to learn something new. The world is our playground!

I am currently doing freelance work and am actively looking for
full-time opportunities. Let's connect!
