hey, I’m Kendall!
Creating experiences that make people’s lives easier makes my life better
What was the first website I ever designed, you ask? Well, it was hosted on wetpaint.com (which, if it still existed, I would have used to build this portfolio for the pure nostalgia) and was an H2O: Just Add Water (the best mermaid show of all time) fanpage. When my friend and I turned 10, we pivoted to the more mature concept of a puppy mill awareness site. I know you were wondering.

With a bachelor’s degree in journalism and a career as a UX designer, I have always gravitated towards fields that focus on understanding human nature. Whether I am creating accessible and intuitive applications, coaching fitness classes, or writing witty intros to my about section, I always strive to put myself in the shoes of others.
I love my dog, sustainable fashion, and being on the water (frozen water counts too). I feel most empowered when I’m working on creative projects in coffee shops, watching the Eras tour, or when I remember to bring my reusable bag to the grocery store.
