Design Better Podcast
Hosted by Eli Woolery and Aarron Walter
Nice to meet you ✦
Hello! I'm Kacy 👋
I'm a designer who cares deeply about how things feel and how they work.
I study Applied Mathematics and Art, Film, and Visual Studies at Harvard, which means I love both clean systems and good stories. I'm drawn to problems where there's real complexity and opportunity to turn it into something that feels natural and thoughtful.
I've worked on products across design, research, and strategy, and I'm especially excited by tools that shape how people think, connect, and make decisions.
