UX Intern Spotlight: Kenzi Wallroff
Kenzi is bringing curiosity and early leadership to the Innovate 120 UX Design internship, where she’s working with the Elbi team on a challenge to help millennial users engage with difficult but important topics using AI tools. A sophomore at Maquoketa High School, Kenzi has already demonstrated maturity beyond her years.
“I realized that I’m surrounded by UX every day,” she said. “This program helped me see how much design impacts my life and decisions.”
Kenzi has competed at the national level in Business Professionals of America alongside her sister and is currently exploring career paths. Her confidence and insight have grown rapidly through the program.
“Kenzi brings energy and openness to learning,” said Robert Abbott, one of the program’s mentors. “She’s observant, thoughtful, and always willing to dive in—qualities that serve any UX team well.”
