Skilled in user research, wireframing, prototyping, interaction design, visual design, and accessibility-focused design, Kayla approaches each project with strong attention to user needs.

Through projects like this, she views design as a form of care that helps users feel seen, supported, and empowered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-aos= \"fade-left\" data-aos-duration=\"400\" data-aos-delay=\"0\" data-aos-easing=\"ease\" data-aos-once=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-787c2033\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-33d869bf wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bfashow.dmd.uconn.edu\/2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/03\/Kayla-Tang-Headshot-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"uag-image-1543\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" title=\"Kayla Tang Headshot\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio uagb-block-f6f9c3e4 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-899e302d\"><h4 class=\"uagb-heading-text\">Artist Statement<\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\">Eventure&nbsp;is a campus events app designed to help students stay connected and make the most of their college experience by providing a centralized space where they can easily discover everything happening on campus, from club meetings and sports games to fundraisers and social events. The idea&nbsp;emerged&nbsp;from recognizing how often students miss opportunities when event information is scattered across multiple platforms, so&nbsp;Eventure&nbsp;brings all activities into one place to make it easier to explore new opportunities, follow personal interests, and actively&nbsp;participate&nbsp;in campus life. The app builds community through social and personalized features that encourage engagement and connection, including personalized onboarding for smarter event discovery, timely reminders that help students attend events, an interactive campus map for easy navigation, and a social media\u2013style recap feed where students can share highlights, see what their peers attended, and catch up on moments they missed, extending the experience beyond the event itself. More than just an event-finding tool,&nbsp;Eventure&nbsp;aims to foster a stronger sense of campus community by helping students feel informed, involved, and connected to the people and moments that shape their college experience.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-slider wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio uagb-block-f263f817 uagb-slider-container\"><div
