Hello, I'm Kayla

High School Student | Technology & Design Enthusiast

About Me

Hi, I'm Kayla! I'm a high school student at Washington High School in Fremont with a diverse background spanning both technology and design. I'm passionate about bridging the gap between technical innovation and creative expression, bringing together coding, digital art, and visual design to create meaningful projects.

My journey includes exploring web development, artificial intelligence, graphic design, digital art, and photography. I love combining technical skills with artistic vision to build websites, experiment with AI tools, create digital illustrations, and design user experiences. Through school projects, volunteer work, and personal exploration, I'm continuously expanding my skillset in both technology and design domains.
