Great user experiences need research, design, and technology to work in harmony…

I help bridge the gap between vision and execution to create impactful digital solutions

I’ve spent my career helping organizations—from startups to established enterprises—navigate the challenges of digital transformation. Drawing from my expertise in education, eCommerce, online marketing, and software development, I collaborate with cross-functional teams to turn ambitious ideas into seamless, user-centered products.

Success starts with a clear strategy. By combining my strong technical foundation with human-centered design principles, I can evaluate feasibility early, uncover hidden opportunities, and solve design challenges before they become roadblocks. My approach blends innovation with practicality, ensuring that every product is intuitive, scalable, and aligned with business goals.

As an award-winning designer, developer, and leader, I excel at solving ambiguous problems under tight deadlines, turning uncertainty into actionable solutions. Whether refining workflows, solving complex interaction challenges, or developing phased approaches for scalable growth, my passion lies in creating meaningful digital experiences that make an impact.

During my time working with Kevin, he consistently delivered high quality contributions to the design team in the form of architecture diagrams, prototypes, mockups, and high fidelity designs. Kevin is also successful mentoring up, I have observed him being a generous partner to academic leadership to help them understand software development processes and help them feel secure in asking questions and engaging in dialog about the work.

Emily MastersonAssistant VP, Product Design

Kevin exemplifies the essence of a “player-coach.” He doesn’t just provide instructions; he leads by example, demonstrating how tasks should be executed through his exemplary work. Moreover, he actively engages in coaching and nurturing team members to reach a level of excellence. He quickly became my primary resource for specific inquiries, particularly in the realms of human-centered design processes, user research, and innovation.

Aneil RazviDirector of Product Design

Kevin takes time to connect with colleagues and is a master at cross functional communication. His technical background gives him an edge over other designers, guiding our development conversations with ease. He’s an expert at navigating all the tricky layers of complex systems, streamlining processes into seamless functionality. I was lucky to have his guidance on a few projects where I bore witness to this skill firsthand.
