About Me.

Hi! My name is Kali Smedley, I will be graduating from Utah State University May 2024 in Outdoor Product Design and Development. I have a passion for helping others and getting things done right. Because of this, my designing revolves around patterning and fit. I also love working with textiles and testing them to understand what fabrics work better for different projects. I am excited to be a helpful member of society and make changes for the better!
