SNAPSHOT

👋 Hi, I’m Kayla! I speak design and code.

I’m creative, but I’m also technical!
I grew up gaming, drawing, and creating. Now, I work as a product designer where I get to focus on my craft. Working in the world of enterprise solutions hasn’t slowed my love for achievement hunting. I’m constantly learning new things and staying busy.
