Hi! I'm Kelly.
👋🏻 I'm a Product (UX/UI) Designer based in Boston, MA.
🎓 I graduated from Tufts University with a Bachelor's in Engineering Psychology and Master's in Human Factors Engineering. I received a certificate in Assistive Design.
👩🏻💻 I was most recently a UX Design & Research intern @ PTC working on their Onshape product.
✅ I have experience delivering digital solutions in agile settings. My skills span concept development, prototyping, user research, and design systems. My passion lies in championing accessibility within design. Let's craft inclusive and impactful experiences together.
😎 In my free time, I enjoy photography, hanging out with my family and friends, binging shows, and cafe hopping.
