From Figma to Shipped: A UX Career Evolves in the Age of AI
I spent my career mastering the tools that defined UX - Adobe XD, Sketch, Protopie, Figma. Then I made a deliberate shift. Not away from design, but deeper into it, using AI to close the gap between what I could imagine and what I could actually ship.

Lowe's Customer Journey Design Process
UX/CX Leader developing comprehensive customer journey mapping and design process improvements for retail experience optimization
Hi, I'm Kyle
I've been doing this for 15 years across fintech, retail, and healthcare, and the work has always been the same: understand the problem deeply, build systems that hold up, and ship things that actually move the needle. I use AI tools the way a good designer uses any tool, to do better work faster, not to replace the thinking.
I've led design initiatives at Fortune 500 companies like Live Oak Bank, Lowe's, Humana, and Hershey's, driving measurable business impact through strategic UX leadership.
Currently open to Lead, Principal, or Head of Design roles - remote or Raleigh/NC-based. If you're building something interesting and need a designer who can think at the system level, let's talk.
Let's build something great together
Looking for a design leader who can drive strategic impact? I'm currently open to new opportunities.
