Hi!
I’m Kyle
I’m fairly basic, thoroughly introverted
, overly sarcastic
, and delightfully awkward
. I use my constant curiosity to better myself as well as the people around me.
At work
I’m a product designer and strategist. I use research and Jobs-to-be-Done to understand complex problems, then design ↗, and implement ↗ practical solutions.
After a few years as an individual contributor, I am back to managing a team of designers. My focus is to create a space for those designers to do their best work, make sure they’re progressing in their career, and are fulfilled at work. I provide design feedback, wrangle stakeholders, work on product strategy, and gain alinment across teams throughout the organization. Easier said than done.
Recent work
At home
I’m partner to an accomplished photographer and father to three kids, three dogs, and two birds. It’s wild up in here. My success metrics are measured in eye rolls, fart jokes, and belly rubs. We call Austin home but I still consider myself to be a New Yorker
.
Lists of lists
I like making lists, I like crossing out lists, forgetting I made lists or losing lists, and then duplicating lists. I just like lists. These are some of my lists, but make sure you check out all my lists.
In my free time
I read a bunch ↗; fiction, non-fiction, and comic books. Running Mountain 
biking, is an escape for me. There is something about biking uphill on rocks that brings me sadistic joy.
I love listening to baseball games 
on the radio outside on summer nights. I draw and paint, but let’s face it, I’m not the best at finding the time. Same deal with meditating. Over the last few years, I’ve managed to find myself taking care of a lot of house plants. I’ve also started two raised bed gardens outside to grow vegetables to eat. I can’t get enough of the texture and feeling of putting my hands in dirt.
