Driving positive social change
Hey! I'm Mykalle, a Product Designer passionate about creating human-centered experiences that drive positive social change.
My unique background blends Political Science with Design & Interaction, giving me a distinctive perspective on how technology can address social challenges and improve lives. My approach combines rigorous user research with inclusive design practices to ensure our products serve diverse communities effectively.
When I'm not designing, you'll find me exploring local boba shops, reading about design innovation, or brainstorming at the beach.
Design Philosophy
đź“– Learn something new every day.
According to James Clear in Atomic Habits, if you are one percent better each day for one year, you'll end up thirty-seven times better by the time you're done.
✨ Perfection is the enemy of progress.
Nothing is perfect.  Perfect is stalling, playing it safe. Don’t get tangled in the details. Just focus on getting something out there first.
✊🏼 Consider and empower all users.
Design for social good. As designers, we have the power to determine who gets to use our product. Foster transparency, inclusivity, and accountability so that no one gets left behind.
