Hi again. My name is Makayla Perry, but since weβre already friends, you can call me MK.
I am a digital designer and illustrator based in Virginia Beach, VA. I strive to intersect storytelling and inclusivity when crafting digital products that make life a little bit easier.
By day, I am a UX Designer at Grow, formerly at AKQA. During other parts of the day, which lead into late nights, I am a green tea addict who reads YA novels, plays Animal Crossing inconsistently, and illustrates childrenβs books along with personal art.
