Craft, then growth, then strategy. Each role added a layer, and none of them replaced the last.
About
Marketer, founder, then growth designer. I've always worked where design meets the business.
I'm most useful where design, revenue, and ambiguity meet. I read funnels, experiments, and business metrics as fluently as I read a design file, and I'd rather be the person asking what we're actually trying to move than the one waiting to be told.
The arc

What people I've worked with say
“Kevin is a combination of creative excellence and team spirit. … He's a bridge-builder, aligning diverse feedback and ideas with grace.”
“Kevin was a fantastic designer. His work was very detailed and he always asked a lot of questions. When I managed him, he would always impresses me with his sense of leadership.”
“Kevin was a strong member of our squad's leadership team, constantly pushing us towards the bigger picture around usability and how design could influence and positively impact the bottom line on our team's quarterly goals.”
“There's a reason he was staffed to the flows that our users first experience in Podium—their first impression was entrusted to Kevin, and he guided them clearly and compassionately in the frames he so carefully crafted.”
“He led the designs for many of the projects I worked on and he showed incredible skill in UI and UX design. … Despite being an engineer, I learned a lot from seeing the solutions Kevin came up with.”
“Kevin possesses a remarkable ability to bridge user needs with business objectives.”
Building with AI
I also run my own product. OptionsNote is an AI-powered trading journal for options traders. I designed it, built it with AI tooling, priced it, and took it to market myself.
What it does
P&L tracking, Greeks per trade, expiration alerts, a return-on-capital calculator, credit spread risk metrics and portfolio analytics.
How I built it
A mix of Lovable and Claude. I owned the product decisions, the design, the pricing and the launch.
Why it matters
Owning the entire loop, from first sketch to paying user, sharpens the same instincts I bring to funnel and monetization work.
