Kaitlynn Gray
I’m a recently graduated Computer Science major + Art concentration from Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, CA. (I took a lot of design classes as well).
Harvey Mudd? Think of a small, liberal arts STEM school known for student collaboration.
My favorite projects have a strong technical and artistically creative component. Design projects are this golden mix of this.
But I also love research.
It’s why I’ve spent all three summers in college doing research.
I am drawn to projects with a human-centered focus - I am deeply curious about how products and systems impact the people interacting with them.
That’s broad, yes! But it allows me to apply it to a multitude of projects. Whatever project I am on, I am going to care about the humans involved.
I thrive in team-based projects where I am in charge of the visuals of a project - specifically making sure information is communicated clearly and aesthetically.
I love taking the knowledge I gained and turning it into a visual document so that others can appreciate these findings.
For me, design isn’t just about making things pretty; it is about creating a product that most effectively reflects the person, people, or community I am designing for. I do this by valuing the feedback of my clients.
Favorites and Things
You’ll most likely find me reading, drawing, playing Sky: Children of the Light, or watching anime (if I’m not wonderfully lost in hours of updating the SCSS on this site).
