Hey! I’m Kaylee :]
I’m a UX Designer from San Diego, CA. I’m currently attending UC Irvine studying Informatics with a specialization in HCI. In my free time you can find me bouldering, ranking new food places, or bugging my two cats.

Some photos from my 5-9 after my 9-5. May even include weekends :)

📍 Monterey Bay Aquarium in CA
Got to see my favorite type of jellyfish while on a West Coast roadtrip! Shot some cool footage of them too.

📍 Joshua Tree National Park
Went outdoor bouldering for the first time! An extremely humbling experience to say the least :)

📍 Joshua Tree National Park
Saw this huge marmot and got this silly picture of it. Fun fact, marmots bite!

I’ve been coming to this beach since I was a kid! Eating a burrito (gave it an 8.3 on Beli) after a quick run.
