i’m kyra (k👁️-ruh)

I’m a ux designer based out of Durham, NC.

versatile and intentional

I bring together my experience in public health research, owning and running a business, and head coaching youth sports. As a product designer, I’m energized by data and research, building processes and systems, and driving teamwork. I create solutions that are pragmatic, intentional, and easy to understand.

In my current role, I led discovery research for the company’s website redesign, while working closely with leadership, marketing, sales, and design. 

I’m a big believer in community and collaboration. At Designlab, I’ve worked as a UI teaching assistant, organized educational and social events, facilitated design critiques, and served as a leader within the community.

human powered adventurer

When not working, you can usually find me outside. Last year, I ran my first marathon and learned how to free skate.

I've backpacked the 211 miles of the John Muir Trail (Nüümü Poyo) from Mount Whitney to Yosemite National Park.

I'm a 5x competitor in the USA Ultimate National Championships. I give back to the ultimate community as a tournament organizer and girls high school coach.
