Siddharth Naik

- Kaylie is an exceptionally strong product designer whose craft immediately stands out. Her work is incredibly clean, intentional, and refined. I’m especially impressed by her ability to design for AI-driven experiences, where she brings clarity and structure to complex, emerging patterns. She has a sharp instinct for simplifying the abstract and making advanced functionality feel intuitive and usable.
Joe Pascavage
Design Manager/ Mentor, Vanguard
- Kaylie is a talented UX/UI designer, with an eye for translating asks and existing technology into modern looks and user centered design. If a role were available, I would certainly bring Kaylie back for a position. Her skillset was so useful that we continued the internship with another candidate at another school, only because Kaylie was not available to continue.
Josh Lazar
CEO, TechThinkTank
- She demonstrated very strong communication skills, particularly in asking thoughtful questions and following up diligently. I was also impressed by her hard work, which led to some great designs that will be very impactful for the service we own.
