Hi, I’m Kyle

I design and build impactful products for clients, leveraging AI and emerging tech in every part of my design process.

With a high attention to detail and endless curiosity, my approach aims to help businesses survive & thrive while keeping real humans at the center of every project.

With a multi-disciplinary background and a talent for synthesizing diverse perspectives, I excel at distilling complex insights into actionable strategies across industries.

From AI-powered surgery navigation to SaaS platforms, cocktail bitters, and even civil engineering, I craft innovative, user-centered solutions that balance creativity with measurable results.

Philosophy

I believe in designing with purpose: crafting intuitive experiences that balance user needs with business goals. At the core of my process is deep curiosity—understanding people’s challenges, motivations, and behaviors to solve complex problems creatively. By leveraging emerging tools like AI and GPT, I aim to push the boundaries of innovation, delivering solutions that are not just usable but transformative for the end user.

  • Design is a bridge between people and possibilities.

  • Simplicity wins: clarity and focus are paramount.

  • Empathy drives everything: understand the people, and the solutions become clear.

Soft Skills

I bring a blend of curiosity, adaptability, and strategic thinking to every project. My soft skills include:

  • AI-Enhanced Problem Solving: Rapidly adopting emerging tools and workflows to drive design innovation.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Bridging the gap between design, engineering, and stakeholders to align on goals and deliver impact.

  • Insight Distillation: Synthesizing complex research and data into actionable design solutions.

  • Clear Communication: Translating technical ideas into human-centered design strategies and outcomes.

  • Empathy and User Advocacy: Ensuring user needs remain at the forefront, even in complex, data-heavy industries.”

Kind words from colleagues

  • “Kyle has a natural curiosity that drives him to develop a deep understanding of subject matter that is critical for identifying the intricacies of a user journey. His knack for distilling large amounts of feedback into key points and learnings is tremendously helpful when approaching new or loosely defined projects. His positive attitude and methodical approach to opportunity identification and solution development make Kyle a great asset for any team focused on optimizing their end to end user experience.“

    David Fiorella @ Proprio | Director of Upstream Marketing

  • “...a true systems-thinker. He understands how brand, design, and user experience impacts business objectives and market strategies. His ability to communicate and empathize builds trust and drives cross-functional collaboration. Kyle is also a blast to work with—smart, funny, and kind. The sort of person you want leading teams and developing young talent.”

    Ian Miller @ Watson Creative | Associate Creative Director

  • “Kyle combines incredible attention to detail with a birds-eye view of the process, which strengthens not only his daily approach to research and design work, but also its outputs. He has a knack for diving deep into complex domains and is adept at zooming in and out of various focus areas as a project unfolds. He fosters a team-oriented approach that creates the right conditions for delivering high-quality work, with plenty of laughs along the way. He’s the ideal thought partner: an experienced practitioner who drives towards the strategic outcomes needed for the project while bringing out the best in those around him.”

    Joan Stoeckle @ Artefact | Design Director

  • ...[he] drove critical elements of developing and executing a VoC plan which included question guides & surveys, in-depth interviews with surgeons, and the subsequent processing to ensure these insights directly influenced the product development process. Kyle executed this project with a high degree of discipline, rigor, and confidence despite being newly hired in an unfamiliar and complex industry. In the fast paced and oftentimes ambiguous startup environment, it's essential to have teammates that can think critically, solve problems, and EXECUTE. Which is exactly the type of teammate one can expect when working with him.”

    Jessica Wicks @ Proprio | Director of Downstream Marketing

  • “Kyle joined our team knowing nothing about our industry or the company’s workflows, but it soon became clear he possesses the ability to learn and synthesize information quickly. He truly had a desire to make the application easier for our team to operate and to create a better client experience overall and it showed in his creative solutions. He did a brilliant job getting us to the finish line, by getting to the root of what everyone truly needed from the application, without creating unnecessary complexity.”

    Eve Riley @ Terrane | Chief Operations Officer

  • “When Kyle started working with us at Terrane, there was untapped opportunity for improvement, and plenty of ways to go about it. He was fully invested in learning our industry, and the technical problems we faced, while prioritizing users and capitalizing on efficiencies. Kyle shines as a collaborator and strategic thinker, rarely letting new problems or layers of complexity derail his mission to create and implement holistic solutions that allow opportunity for everyone to succeed.”

    Andy McAndrews @ Terrane | Sales Director

  • “…[he] dove head-first into an incredibly complex medical product with very limited onboarding from the rest of team. He drove key user research and insights for a set of new features by collaborating directly with both internal stakeholders and external users. While working with Kyle, he remained keenly focused on balancing the user's needs alongside the needs of the business.”
