Hi, I’m Kyle.

I’m a senior product designer, researcher, and systems thinker based in foggy San Francisco.

I have always tried to approach each problem I’ve faced in my career the same: by leading with empathy. I’m a firm believer that even the slightest bit can go a long way. So, as a designer, I feel that I have a responsibility to not simply push pixels, but to understand the lived experiences of the people I design for and advocate for their needs.

I currently work at Exygy, where I focus on our CiviForm product, an open-source platform that helps governments digitize their forms and expand public benefit access for 8+ million people, recently named one of TIME’s best inventions of 2025.

A little more about me:

  • I grew up in England (sadly, no accent to show for it).

  • I’m a big Duke basketball fan.

  • Sometimes I’m in movies with Colin Firth.
