Summary

Seasoned design leader who moves between agency and product worlds. Kevin founded and ran Hard Candy Shell, led agency creative at Elephant (working on major brand digital experiences), and later shifted into product-focused design leadership at Supernatural/Meta — a trajectory that shows strengths in scaling creative teams, building product design practices, and delivering cross-disciplinary brand and product work. hardcandyshell+2
Committed to mentoring and broadening access into experience design. While at Elephant he helped run programs (Elephant XD Academy) and spoke publicly about building pipelines for underrepresented designers, indicating an ongoing interest in design education and DEI in the creative industries. adweek
Hands-on background in information architecture and user experience from the early web era. His early roles (Razorfish, NetReaction) and subsequent founding of a UX/product agency reflect a deep IA/UX foundation that informs later product and brand design leadership. charmingrobot+1
