About
Hi there! Welcome to my website. My name is Ceilidh (pronounced just like “Kaylee”) and I am a Senior Product Designer based in NYC.
I originally moved to NYC to study at Parsons, where I did a dual degree program in Design and Philosophy. Over the course of my studies, I took on a range of internships to explore different roles and industries that I was interested in. I started off with PR internships in fashion, which led to Art, Photo and Design internships at various publications, and later Product Design within Tech. I started my career at LinkedIn, where I spent over five years designing large-scale and high-impact projects within Content Experience. I then led the design for Zocdoc’s ad platform for doctors. I most recently have been working as a Product Strategy and Design Consultant for a small startup, VUKA Works.
I love to learn about people, solve real problems and create meaningful experiences. Thoughtfulness, integrity, efficiency and collaboration are strong values of mine that I uphold in everything that I do. I also believe in the importance of having fun in the process!
Some interests of mine include contemporary art, travel, food, wellness, fashion and music.

“I had the pleasure of managing Ceilidh for over 3yrs as part of LinkedIn's Content Experience team in NYC. Ceilidh was always a great team player and culture champion across the organization. Throughout her time here Ceilidh always demonstrated a willingness to help others across a number of challenging initiatives. She's the kind of design partner who truly embeds herself within a cross-functional team, always guided by her members-first mindset and curiosity.
During her time on the team Ceilidh led design in support of LinkedIn's global News and Editorial teams, often balancing immediate members needs while exploring concepts to redefine professional news alongside leadership. Ceilidh has also led initiatives across publishing, creator monetization and analytics, always bringing her clear perspective and collaborative spirit.
She is a confident designer, excelling in communication and equally at ease contributing to a team critique or an executive presentation. I can confidently recommend any team looking for a designer who can support and elevate complex experiences at scale, while building strong team relationships to consider Ceilidh.”

“I worked with Ceilidh both as her peer and her direct manager.
Ceilidh’s a dedicated designer and teammate with a human centered mindset and collaborative working style. She thinks deeply about problems and really put our members first in her work. This was evident in both her time on the LinkedIn News team where she collaborated closely with a global team of editors as well as her time on the Power Creators team setting a vision for our some of our more critical creator focused initiatives. An added bonus was Ceilidh’s commitment to our team culture and helping to shape it in our NY office.
If you’re looking for a smart, thoughtful, collaborative designer, Ceilidh would be a great addition to any design team!”
