About

Kayla Dougherty

Founder

I've had a love for both art and math for as long as I can remember. From spending a summer in the south of France studying art to graduating with an Applied Mathematics degree, I’ve become quite passionate about finding a way to blend these two worlds.
‍
My professional journey began as a Financial Advisory Consultant at Janney Montgomery Scott where I developed a deep understanding of client needs, and sharpened my problem-solving skills. Lacking the creative fix I needed, I moved to San Diego where I became a Website Merchandise Analyst at Petco.

I curated key assets for the site, coded updates, and collaborated with cross-functional teams to bring ideas to life. It was here that I learned how to make data-driven decisions while crafting visually engaging online experiences.
‍
Craving even more freedom and creativity, I started Toplink Design Studio, where I get to combine all these experiences to help businesses create stunning, effective websites that reflect who they are and where they want to go. I’m all about creating websites that not only look beautiful but also provide a solid foundation to help your business grow with confidence.
