I am Kel, a lifelong artist and rising fourth-year Arts and Entertainment Technologies and Economics Student, specializing in Digital Design, at The University of Texas at Austin. 🤘
I am currently a UX/UI Design intern at Distro Media, news publication technology startup, on the design team. Thinking creatively and analytically, I am curious about exploring how technology advances economic opportunities for creators and artists. 🌐
Previously, I welcomed in UT's Class of 2027 as a Summer Orientation Advisor for the Department of Arts and Entertainment Technologies and a member of the Social Media Committee on the New Student Services team. Passionate about art and design, I continue to work with student organizations to transform creative ideas and concepts into tangible, marketable products.
My enthusiasm for digital product development was driven by the many conversations with students about inadequate access to essential resources, including housing, transportation, and institutional support. Envisioning solutions to address pain point stories, I discovered User Experience Design + Research, and further bridged my academic disciplines.
Beyond these endeavors, catch me doodling everywhere, driving around the city, and perusing live event tickets!
