Welcome to my corner of the internet!

My name is Kalyn. I’m a senior majoring in Information Sciences with a concentration in HCI/UX and minoring in Psychology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

I’m a designer who is passionate about crafting beautiful and meaningful digital experiences. From a young age, I’ve always enjoyed expressing my creativity through various mediums: painting, playing music, crocheting, writing, etc.

But I wanted to do something meaningful with my skills. I love UX design for its intersection of art and technology, but more importantly, the ability to solve tough problems in the digital age and make a tangible impact!

When I’m not designing, I’m reading, playing the NYT games, or pickling a veggie :)
