Hayley Jenkins 👋🏻

I hold a BFA in Graphic Design from Kendall College of Art and Design. I quickly learned I couldn’t just make something pretty without that deep dive into why. I naturally gravitated towards UX Design, where the word “why” is at the forefront of the vocabulary.

I currently live in Grand Rapids, MI with my husband, our German Shepherd Nike, and our cat Nala. Life is too short to be stationary, so we are always on the go and trying new adventures. Catch us playing beach volleyball, trying out the coolest new restaurants, or nerding-out over the Funkoverse board games.

Over my career, I have become an expert in smart home blinds, luxury fashion wholesale, fundraising efforts for homeless shelters, and the fascinating world of buoy data. My friends no longer understand when I try to explain what I do.
