Hi, I’m Kyle 👋

Experienced UX designer based in Cincinnati, with a background in leading design projects, data visualization and storytelling.

I’m a multifaceted designer with a knack for...

  • Untangling complex problems

  • Working solo or leading design teams

  • Stakeholder management

  • Driving change with empathy and patience

I leverage a unique background, coming to UX later in my career. I spent a decade in data journalism, telling stories through clear and purposeful design.

Outside the 9-to-5, I also enjoy connecting with the local design community. Over the past several years I’ve given talks on designing data dashboards at local IxDA and UXPA chapters.

My work

  • Example of a student gradebook

    A Data Reporting System that Scales

    I lead a project that helps instructors better support their students. A new feature set up the platform for future success, as well as fitting into an ecosystem of data insights that I helped develop over 4 years.

  • Three examples of video player screens

    Rapid Discovery in a Triage Situation

    I lead a project that triaged an emergency user issue. I rapidly identified user pain points, designed solutions and contributed to research within a focused client engagement.

  • Two examples of a graphing assessment

    Integrated a Complex Third-party Application

    I worked to seamlessly integrate a complex third-party tool into a student assessment platform, leading to an experience with SUS scores higher than product competitors.

  • Map with colored dots indicating residents in Illinois

    A Unique Data Visualization and Journalism Background

    I leverage a unique background, one where I worked for a decade telling stories through data in a fast-paced environment. These experiences helped form the user advocate that I am today.
