I’m Kyla!
  
I’m an artist, designer, and educator who is interested in how digital tools, political economy, and playful making can intersect in meaningful ways. I live in Brooklyn, New York, but I am from North Providence, Rhode Island. I cook a mean mushroom risotto.

Commercially, I practice design under my studio moniker, Patio. I mostly work with individuals and organizations to build visual identities that align to their values. I also design for film and produce books.

As an Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at St. John’s University, I encourage students to explore vernacular histories and socially responsive design outcomes. My pedagogical research focuses on accessible tools and the tension between craft and optimization.
