What makes me tick at work

How coworkers feel about me

“Kelly was instrumental in Walmart's strategy to demystify and democratize the operating of its 4,700 retail stores. She led design thinking and execution on complete recreations of Point of Sale and store applications. She is a great cross functional leader and communicator. A+ Team Member and collaborator!”

— Product Manager, Douglas Humphreys

“Kelly has added an enormous amount of value to our product team. She is extremely proficient at the hard skills needed by a designer, but also demonstrates a deep understanding of business process to provide the contextual foundation for the artifacts she delivers.”

— Engineering Lead, Barend Esterhuizen

“It’s rare that you come across standout talent like Kelly. I was particularly impressed by Kelly’s ability to think strategically with her designs. That skill often takes years to develop among user experience professionals, but it seemed to come naturally for her. Kelly would be an asset to any team!”

— Hiring Manager, Jeff Parker

Approaching work with perspective & compassion

Having a robust life outside of work makes me a more empathetic coworker & better problem solver.

When I’m not working, I’m usually frolicking with dogs, spending valuable time with family, or watching kitschy science fiction. I am also a big fan of fitness, animal welfare, cross stitch and travel.

Thank you for stopping by! 🖖
