Hi! I’m Kali, a Product & Experience Designer

From mobile apps to virtual worlds, I design for that first encounter with something new

Not Your Typical Designer

I'm a product and experience designer with an unusual background that shapes how I work.

My work spans two areas: UX and product design for digital experiences, and immersive design for VR and spatial environments. Whether I'm designing a mobile app or a VR experience, the core challenge is the same: helping people understand and trust something they have never used before. I'm currently earning my MS in Information Experience Design at Pratt Institute and interning with the Immersive XR Programming team at Lincoln Center.

Before that, I went to art school, then spent over a decade as a fashion product designer for brands like Cole Haan, Tommy Hilfiger, Levi's, and Karl Lagerfeld. That work taught me to design for real people, to read research and sales data, and to balance innovation with familiarity so new ideas feel approachable. It's a product and user lens I bring to everything I design now.
