About MK

I am a senior UX professional specializing in information architecture, interaction design. I have worked across the end to end design process as both a researcher and designer. I can code as well, giving me great insight into developer work-streams and limitations.

Currently I am a Senior UX Designer at USAA focusing on their flagship product, auto insurance where my team’s focus is modernization of the entire platform including efforts to integrate artificial intelligence into the experience. My most recent prior position was also at USAA as a Senior UX Designer optimizing HR platforms as an enterprise designer. Prior to USAA I worked at Warner Bros. integrating content tools. Before switching to UX Design I spent close to 10 years in the entertainment industry, mainly in production, making me an asset for media companies seeking UX expertise.

I received my design education at UCLAx’s  UX Design program, which is the oldest UX certificate program in the country. I received my BA degree from Hunter College (magne cum laude) in New York City.

I am also a writer, artist in my spare time. Feel free to check out my blog posts for my of my creative side. I will be building a website soon to host these separately.
