Hi, I’m Kali — a User Experience Designer, Researcher, and Creative Technologist, passionate about crafting intuitive, user-centered digital experiences. I thrive in collaborative settings where diverse perspectives shape meaningful user experiences.

My background in fashion design provides me with a unique perspective on design thinking and user needs. The fashion design process mirrors UX methodology - from conducting market and user research, through iterative prototyping and testing, to refining designs based on user feedback. Through this work, I developed expertise in creative problem-solving and cross-functional collaboration, navigating the product development cycle from research to launch.

Most recently, I was a designer at Tommy Hilfiger, where I helped define the women’s athleisure outerwear category by blending customer insights, market research, and innovation. Previously, I consulted at brands like Karl Lagerfeld and Levi’s, and held design roles at Cole Haan and TUMI, creating trend-driven, high-performing products.

I’m currently pursuing a master’s in Integrated Design and Media at NYU Tandon School of Engineering, focusing on UX design, wearable technology, and creative technologies. I hold an MFA in studio art from Concordia University, a BFA from Emily Carr University of Art and Design, and I studied fashion design at Fashion Institute of Technology.

Outside of design, I enjoy learning German 🇩🇪 and Spanish 🇪🇸 on Duolingo, tending to my houseplants🪴and balcony garden🌱, exploring art exhibits, working on creative projects🎨🪡🧶, and getting outside🚲🏃‍♀️.
