Hi, I'm Kaitlyn.

I'm an interdisciplinary designer studying Electrical & Computer Engineering and Human-Computer Interaction at Carnegie Mellon University. I'm interested in invigorating product design and UX engineering opportunities.

I strongly believe we must examine design problems through an inclusive, intersectional lens and construct solutions that accurately represent marginalized communities. This has led me to my research at AXLE Lab, where I'm developing cooking technologies for visually-impaired people. Moreover, I believe accessible education fosters inclusive change. This has led me to my work at PLUS, designing for math tutors, and my work as a teaching assistant for various computer engineering classes.

In my free time, I enjoy exploring all forms of audio-visual media. Specifically, I love discovering music for my radio show on WRCT 88.3 FM, logging new movies on Letterboxd, and taking photos with my digital camera.
