hi, I'm kaci

I'm a curiosity-driven, big-hearted, lifelong learner with an itch to create.

I love diving into new domains, tinkering with tools, and applying them to empower others to focus on what matters most to them.

I'm a techno-optimist. I believe tech is at its best when it's built with and for the people who use it. When it comes to AI, I advocate it as a tool to amplify human capabilities.

I'm always up for collaborating on AI product work at the intersection of human-centered design and emerging capabilities. If that's your world too, reach out :)

Background

as a kid, i was always building something — from monthly home depot kits to countless michaels craft projects.

that love for making eventually turned digital. i discovered ux/ui design through a high school independent study & mentorship program (ism) and was hooked.

thinking i might become an entrepreneur, i headed to ut austin to study business, information systems, and informatics.

but my path shifted when i audited a grad class on human-ai interaction. i fell in love with the space and joined a research lab.

after college, i brought that passion to intuit as a rotational product manager, applying human-centered ai to complex accounting and tax products.

looking ahead, i'm excited to bring ai into new spaces, building a world where technology empowers our creativity and connection instead of replacing it.
