Why?
Adaptable
I've worked across dozens of teams, products, platforms, markets and industries. I'll get up to speed faster and more efficiently than a new hire, traditional freelancer, or agency.
Fast
I'll swiftly identify user needs, align them with the business, and create impactful design solutions - accelerating the product design process.
Dependable
A proven track record of consistent and successful delivery, my reliability as a designer, I'll consistently meet both user needs and business objectives.
Who can I help?
Startups & new products
I've taken numerous products from zero-to-one and have been the first design hire at multiple startups.
No in-house design team
You have a solid plan and product thinking but no resources in-house to execute it.
Over-stretched designers
Too much for your design team to take on? I'll seamlessly integrate and get up to speed lightening fast.

"Kevin was a critical asset in the relaunch of Google Fonts in 2020. Kevin worked as the lead product designer collaborating with User Research, Engineering, and Product under a tight deadline. Kevin's work was high quality and always on time. Although Kevin was remote, he had tremendous impact as the design lead and strategist. Our launch would not have been possible without Kevin's ability to quickly ramp up and fit into the existing team."
Director of UX, Google Material Fonts & Icons
"With a discerning eye for detail and commitment to excellence, Kevin consistently pushes the limits of product development, while simultaneously driving the process forward, unearthing numerous avenues for enhancing team dynamics and business efficacy. Kevin is a valuable asset to the world of product development, and his contributions to GoPro and the field of UX are elevated having worked with him.”"

Director of Product Management, Google
"Kevin brought maturity, perspective, and passion to evolving our products at Katalyst. In addition to refining our design language, Kevin revamped our onboarding experience with our product.

VP of Product, Katalyst

Senior UX Manager, Google
I'm currently running my own independent design studio but have also both led teams and been a principal and staff designer at awesome places like GoPro, Contour Cameras, Moment, Google, Microsoft Research and a bunch of awesome hardware/software startups in the US and Japan. I'm comfortable working with just about any stage of company or team across the spectrum of ideation to MVP to V1 to iterating a mature product from leading design / engineering teams to working as an individual contributor.
