Creating Designs That Bloom.

I'm a graphic designer and website developer based in Vancouver, Washington that's passionate about accessibility.

I've designed for a variety of marketing projects, both digital and print.

For the web, I specialize in creating interactive webpages in WordPress, but I also love the beauty of hand-coded experiences.

Bringing Life to the Internet.

Designs and websites begin with planning, structure, and accessibility, but let's make it beautiful too.

I believe in emphasizing the design in web design. Armed with a solid plan, a prototype created in Figma, and a list of goals you hope to achieve with the site, even the most difficult web development job can't stand in the way of making something beautiful.

Just like a bouquet of flowers, pieces of graphic design and websites are best when they incorporate different perspectives that work together to make something amazing. Just like a garden, sometimes bugs become features.

  • Following brand guidelines

Let's Be Buds.

I'm a graphic designer, web developer, project manager, and pink-enthusiast. My full name is Kylie Elizabeth Sickles, but my last name will be Pendragon some day, so stay tuned. Hailing from Washington State (and Oregon…and Arizona…and California), I'm a 2024 graduate from Washington State University Vancouver. My work has been featured twice in the 37th issue of The Nouspace Student Research Gallery, and one time I brought a radio station back from the dead.
