Hello, I’m Kim Ellsworth!

“I worked with Kim and oversaw much of her project work while working at Vectra AI. I’d describe Kim as utterly thoughtful, intelligent, and kind, with a penchant for fantastic questions and curiosity while being a staunch advocate for accessibility, standards, and voice. As a UX designer, Kim deftly handled the complexities of cybersecurity across a range of different contexts, which I think speaks to a keen adaptability in terms of domain. She is also a wonderful collaborator, someone I always looked forward to ping-pong many different ideas with as we iterated on everything from research plans, prototypes, conceptual designs, the list goes on. I would absolutely love to have Kim on my team again, not just for her great capacity at design, but because she also happens to be a great human as well. I would absolutely recommend hiring her.”

-Erik Evangelista, Distinguished UX Designer at Vetra AI

“I had the pleasure of working with Kim for nearly 2 years, and will miss working with her. She is good at understanding complex problems and clearly diagramming, communicating, and designing around those problems. She is detail-oriented, makes sure designs are well thought-through, and is good at thinking at a systems level about how a change in one place will affect other parts of a product. She is passionate about good accessibility, and she has been a great voice for accessibility improvements on our team. She is also a good listener and collaborator – she makes those she is working with feel heard and is always open to digesting feedback to come up with even more effective designs. I would love to work with Kim again!”

-Rachel Sweet, Principal Designer at Vectra AI

“I had the pleasure of working with Kim at Vectra.ai and I highly recommend her for any design team.

Kim is a talented and driven designer who has an excellent understanding of design processes. I collaborated with her on a couple of projects, and her attention to detail and polish was apparent throughout her work. In particular, Kim's emphasis on accessibility ensured that our team was always considering that aspect of design, and the perspective she was able to bring from her background in diverse industries was very valuable.

Kim was a joy to work with and would be a wonderful addition to any design team.”

-Pranav Pradhan, Senior UX Desiger at Vectra AI

“I had the opportunity to lead Kim (remotely) on large-scope UX project for a Fortune 500 company. Kim is a hard worker and knows all the right questions to ask, which came in particularly useful during the discovery and analysis phase of the aforementioned project. Her research skillset was incredibly valuable to our team, with many of the insights she uncovered being represented in final designs. As her leader, I appreciated her responsiveness, her attention to detail, her willingness to operate outside of her comfort zone, her insightfulness and her humility. The client was more than satisfied with the work she and our team produced! She was really, really easy to work with and I hope we have the opportunity to work together again. Thank you again Kim!”

-Jason Stewart, Sr. Manager - Experience Design at Perficient

”I had the pleasure of knowing Kim for 4 months when we worked together as a UX team at Perficient for CAT Rental Store. I was particularly impressed by Kim’s ability to look beyond user demographics and come up with solutions influenced by user behaviors, goals and needs. In addition to Kim’s excellent UX skills she also showcased strong communication abilities. These skills were most noticeable in the user research Interviews that we did with the customers and when we documented the UX Deliverables for handoff to the developers. She is really good company and is the type of person you want to collaborate with when working as a design team.

Kim would be a valuable asset to any team. I hope we get the chance to work again together.”
