About me

Hey there,

I’m Kira Velez, a prospective User Experience Researcher living near Boulder, Colorado. When I’m not drawing, you can find me exploring new creative tools or learning another program. I’m passionate about understanding how people interact with technology and designing experiences that feel intuitive, inclusive, and meaningful. My curiosity drives me to constantly analyze everyday interactions, from website layouts to product usability, and think about how they could be made better for everyone.

I draw inspiration from both art and technology, blending creativity with analytical thinking to bring ideas to life. Whether I’m sketching an interface concept, experimenting with new design software, or conducting user research, I love uncovering the “why” behind user behaviors. Living near Boulder has also given me the opportunity to connect with a vibrant tech and design community that values innovation and accessibility; two principles that shape how I approach every project.
