Hi Im Kevan! Im a full stack design leader with extensive expertise in User Experience Design, research and strategy. Im comfortable driving complex design projects at any stage of the process (Discovery → User Research → UX → Interaction → Clean Visuals → Analytics). I regularly contribute at both a tactical and strategic level. I also enjoy interacting and collaborating with my colleagues to help enrich my team and ultimately raise the overall quality of the product.

I believe I have the curiosity, enthusiasm, versatility and drive to find out what customers love then create something that makes them happy and satisfied. Im aiming to join a team where I can strengthen and codify my design leadership abilities.

When Im not designing products, I enjoy interior design, oolong teas and serving my modernist cuisine experiments to my 6-year old twin boys (usually unsuccessfully).

I led conversations with top-tier academic book publishers to create a better, more usable sales reporting tool. Some of the core challenges I faced with this project were:

  • Visualizating complex and interconnected sales metrics
