Hi, I'm Kyle.
I'm a UX design leader with 12 years of experience turning complex, high-stakes products into experiences people can actually use. From enterprise identity security platforms to lidar sensor interfaces built for autonomy engineers.
What sets me apart is range. I've founded design systems from scratch, defined AI/ML UX frameworks before good precedents existed, and led 0-to-1 product builds alongside seasoned engineering teams. I don't just design interfaces, I build the foundations that make entire product ecosystems more consistent, scalable, and easier to build on. If you're looking for someone who can lead ambiguous, high-complexity work and leave things better than they found them, that's where I do my best work.
What I Bring
Systems thinking at scale
I build design systems and component libraries that serve entire product ecosystems, not just one team or one release. That foundation-first mentality extends to everything I touch, from AI/ML UX frameworks to 0-to-1 product builds that outlast my direct involvement.
AI & ML UX fluency
I've defined AI UX frameworks for enterprise software in an era where few good precedents existed, navigating the unique challenges of injecting AI into mature, high-stakes products rather than building AI-native from scratch.
Cross-functional leadership
I routinely align large, diverse stakeholder groups across engineering, product, and executive levels. I engage at a level of technical depth that earns the trust of the people actually building the thing. While most designers can hold the room, I can also hold my own in the conversation.
Honest, user-grounded instincts
I surface the hard tradeoffs, including the ones that are inconvenient for the timeline. My research identifies real usability gaps before they ship, and I advocate for fixes even when the answer is "next release."
Passions
Illustration & Animation
I've been drawing since I was 4. That foundation in traditional and digital art shapes how I see everything. Composition, hierarchy, and motion are always at the heart of how I approach a design problem.
Artistic Inquiry
I'm genuinely curious about the world, and the visual arts are one of my favorite lenses for understanding it. That same curiosity is what drives me to dig into unfamiliar domains
