Hi! my name is Kaylee.

I found a passion for design in 2022, and since then I've been on an exciting journey expanding my skillset and creating designs with impact.

Beyond design, I like journaling, baking and eating desserts, finding new cucumber salad recipes, hiking, bouldering, scrapbooking, and discovering new music. I also have two cats named Katsu and Tuna 🐈 🐈‍⬛

Thanks for stopping by! Feel free to reach out, as well: dolientk@uci.edu :]
