I’m especially impressed by her ability to design for AI-driven experiences, where she brings clarity and structure to complex, emerging patterns.

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
