Hi, I'm Kali!
I’m an Experience and Product Designer with 10+ years of experience in fashion design, now focused on digital products.
I specialize in experience design and UX research, with a passion for emerging technologies like XR, immersive experiences, wearables, AI, and conversational interfaces. I'm drawn to the challenge of making new platforms feel intuitive and approachable, whether that's redesigning a health app or building an immersive VR experience.
I'm currently pursuing my MS in Information Experience Design at Pratt Institute School of Information, studying UX and Product Design.

Creative Background
I bring over 10 years of professional fashion design experience to digital products. As a fashion designer, I led user-centered design processes: conducting fit testing (comparable to usability testing), translating qualitative feedback and quantitative sales data into design solutions, and collaborating with cross-functional teams from concept through production.
Most recently, I was the lead women's outerwear designer at Tommy Hilfiger Sport, where I used research and data to inform product strategy for fashion collections. I've also held fashion design roles at Cole Haan and TUMI, and consulted for Karl Lagerfeld and Levi's, building apparel products that balanced user needs, business goals, and technical constraints.
This foundation in iterative, research-driven design now shapes how I approach UX and product design. I apply the same design thinking to digital experiences across mobile, web, and immersive technologies like VR. Lastly, my formal training in visual art (MFA, BFA) gives me a strong eye for visual detail and a conceptual approach to solving problems.
Currently Seeking
As I pivot into the digital sphere, I'm looking for an internship where I can apply research-driven design thinking to solve complex problems and create intuitive user experiences.
