Hi, I’m Kayla.

I’m a Staff Product Designer based in Minneapolis, MN. Even though I live in the land of the Vikings, I’m a Wisconsinite at heart and a die hard Packers fan.

I have 9 years of experience specifically as a product designer but have 13+ years of experience designing and building digital experiences.

How I approach design

I’m a designer who is willing to dive into any challenge and wear any hat that’s needed. Need a new, fully-researched feature? I’m your gal. Need some swag for an upcoming retreat? I can help! Need a bug fixed in the frontend? Sign me up.

Systems thinker

I have a knack for thinking about product holistically and for knowing the right pattern to use when. I’m a design system nerd and love knowing the ins and outs.

Lasting impact

We build with clarity, act with integrity, and always stay curious.

A bit about me as a person

Who is the girl behind the computer?

I love The Office

My husband and I have won multiple The Office trivia contests with the team name “I Am Beyoncé Always.”

My drink of choice is a brandy old fashioned

True Wisconsinites know that old fashioneds are made with brandy and soda (yes, soda, not pop).

Road trips are my jam

I grew up having driven to almost all 50 states. Now I’m doing the same with my family. Recent trips have been to Colorado, Montana, and Idaho.

I can say the alphabet backwards really fast

One day I was bored as a kid and learned how to do this. It’s never really come in handy.
