Hey, I'm Kristy. 
Los Angeles-based designer. Currently @ Microsoft.

I believe great product design is about solving real problems and improving people's lives.

My passion for design began at home, growing up with my nonverbal autistic sister. Communication wasn't always straightforward. We often relied on observing her behaviors, routines, and emotions to understand her needs. Everything changed when we discovered a symbol-based communication app. For the first time in eleven years, she could communicate directly with us. Witnessing the impact that technology had on her independence and ability to express herself opened my eyes to the power of design. That experience inspired me to pursue interaction design and create products that make a meaningful difference.

Today, I strive to design thoughtful, innovative experiences that empower people, foster connection, and help both individuals and organizations thrive. Let’s talk and create together.
