Hi!A animated gif of Forrest Gump waving I’m Kyle

I’m fairly basic, thoroughly introvertedAn animated gif of Moira Rose from Shitt's Creek saying 'You keep everything inside like a bashful clam', overly sarcasticAn animated gif of Fozzy Bear looking for laughs, and delightfully awkwardAn animated gif of a man weidly looking out from plants. I am constantly curious and use that curiosity to make myself and the people around me better.

Over the past couple of years, I’ve been slowly working through pre-pandemic burnoutAn animated gif of a man rubing his hands down his face in exaustion and a pandemic induced fatigue.

Bla, bla, bla, there’s even more

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. I’ve been designing web or mobile products in some form or another for over fifteen years. Which makes me like 154 in internet years. In the past, I managed a design team and really loved it but, for the last few years I’ve been working in an individual contributor role.

I’m partner to an accomplished photographer and father to three kids and two dogs. It’s wild up in here. My success metrics are measured in eye rolls and number of successful fart jokes. We call Austin home but I still consider myself to be a New Yorker. Go Yankees!

I read a bunch; both fiction and non-fiction. Running, especially trail running, is an escape for me. There is something about running uphill on rocks in that brings me some 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 plants. At least, more than I thought I would ever own.

Lists

I like lists. I like making lists, I like crossing out lists, forgetting I made lists or losing lists and then duplicating lists. Here’s a list of a few of my lists (listception!An animated gif of the spinning top from the movie Inception):
