Hi, my name is Kyra Pelton. I am a designer, strategist, and creative.
I solve challenging problems with thoughtful, human centered design. I am currently working on a stealth start up.

In June 2023, graduated with a Masters in Mechanical Engineering focused in Product Design from Stanford University. Previously, I have worked as a Design Fellow in Stanford’s Design For Extreme Affordability Program, as a Product Development Researcher at LOCA Foods, and as a Design Intern at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney, AUS.

Outside of the world of making, I am a former professional and division one lacrosse player with a love of collaboration and hunger for success.

I create impact as a problem solver with an intense attention to craft and a care for driving impact through great product.
