Profile: https://flows.cv/kristiseymour

I’m a UX/UI designer with 5+ years of experience creating intuitive, accessible, and scalable digital products. Currently, I design for Smarter Balanced, where I lead high-impact projects that improve how educators discover and engage with instructional tools.

My approach blends systems thinking with a strong user research foundation. I’ve worked across industries from edtech to real estate translating complex requirements into clean, thoughtful design. Whether I’m improving accessibility, aligning cross-functional teams, or reworking an interaction pattern that’s not serving users, I’m always focused on creating experiences that feel human.

I care deeply about inclusive design, meaningful collaboration, and building tools that make a difference.

Let’s connect.
