Researcher. Artist. Human.
ABOUT ME
Hi there! I'm Kennedy, a Brooklyn-based researcher and movement artist deeply passionate about how we design for and understand global audiences. Originally from Chicago, I graduated with departmental honors from Columbia University. Since then, I've continued my research at the intersection of UX, strategy, and tech innovation at the world's largest tech-powered creative agency. Collaborating with the world's biggest brands and organizations, I help clients design, build, and optimize experiences, de-risk solutions, and (re)prioritize roadmaps to better align with human needs. And when I'm not doing that, you can catch me in the studio or on the stage, freelancing with various dance artists in and around the NYC area.
