Hi, I'm Kayla

A versatile and detail-oriented designer, I blend technical expertise with creativity to develop innovative textile and apparel solutions. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Apparel and Merchandising with a concentration in Product Development from Colorado State University, where I honed my skills in product development, textile testing, adaptive design, and digital illustration. My experience spans hands-on studio work, global supply chains, and fashion buying, complemented by retail roles in both associate and managerial positions.

Beyond my professional expertise, I am a creator at heart. I thrive on designing, making, and exploring new ideas—whether it's developing adaptive apparel, illustrating bold textile patterns, or crocheting a new sweater. I am drawn to craftsmanship, functionality, and artistic expression, always seeking to merge innovation with inclusivity and sustainability. My passion for textiles and design isn’t just a career; it’s how I see the world.
