About Kai

Hi, I’m Kai Helms—a user experience designer graduate student with a deep love for creating meaningful, impactful work. My journey began in Boone, North Carolina with degrees in Graphic Communications Management (where I specialized in print and packaging) and Computer Information Systems.

When I’m not immersed in crafting seamless user experiences, you’ll find me lost in the dreamy melodies of Japanese City Pop, flipping through the pages of a thought-provoking book, or marveling at the timeless elegance of Art Deco. These passions fuel my creativity and inspire me to design with intention and soul.

I believe that great design isn’t just about aesthetics.

It’s about connection, purpose, and making a difference. Whether I’m sketching wireframes or refining interfaces, my goal is always the same: to create work that resonates, empowers, and leaves a lasting impression. Let’s build something meaningful together.
