I am Kalyn, a designer from Michigan who loves everything design-related! From physical to digital work, I love expanding my skillset and never shy away from anything! I have experience in merchandise design, editorial design, print, and related areas. You can normally find me at yoga, flipping through magazines, or listening to my dad rock playlist! My life motto is, you must always try something once, and I apply that to design as well.
