Hello! I'm Kyra
My journey started with graphic design and interactive media, but once I got into UI/UX, I knew I had found my niche. My first UX project, redesigning UCSB’s event platform, sparked my love for user-centered design and set me on a path of collaboration and innovation. Since then, I’ve worked on projects tackling everything from environmental equity to pet rehoming for seniors, always aiming to design solutions that are both meaningful and accessible. Whether I’m working on branding, marketing, or product design, I love blending creativity with strategy to make a real difference.

My Background
Creativity has always been a core part of who I am, from working on digital and product design projects to exploring hands-on art experiences. My time as a teacher’s assistant at Orfalea Children's Center and Petroglyph Ceramic Lounge gave me valuable experience working with kids, teaching me patience, adaptability, and the importance of designing with accessibility in mind.
My passion for design started with traditional art and grew into graphic design, leading me to work on branding, marketing, and UX projects.
