A multidisciplinary designer, serial hobbyist and someone who thinks she has good music taste.


Welcome, friend! To this little corner of the web, where I design digital and physical experiences that adapt and grow with people.


Previously, I’ve worked with startups and nonprofits to develop solutions and bridge gaps in access to technology.

I’m always tinkering with new ideas, iterating, and refining them into experiences that help people make more sense of the world.


You can find me hobbymaxxing on @ktycafe ⭑.ᐟ


Thank you for visiting :D
