Hi, I’m Kieran.
I'm a designer based in Philadelphia. I love the interplay between complex problem-solving and visual expression at the core of human-centered design, and applying those same principles to enable internal teams.
I currently serve as Senior Director of Design at Craft, where I help shape thoughtful digital products and the systems that support them.
I connect strategy and craft, helping bring clarity and direction to complex environments. I’ve partnered with organizations including The Pew Charitable Trusts, PNC, Comcast, BBVA Compass, Merrill Lynch, Pfizer, and Nationwide, and have presented at UXPA and IxDA on topics related to experience strategy and physical-digital experience design.
Experience Strategy
Framing complex problems, translating research into direction, and articulating a clear experience vision.
Product & Interaction Design
Designing thoughtful, workflow-driven digital experiences, from early concepts through detailed execution across web and native platforms.
Systems Thinking
Defining scalable design systems, interaction patterns, and visual frameworks that bring cohesion across products and teams.
Creative Leadership
Setting a strong bar for craft, guiding multidisciplinary collaboration, and shaping operating models that make good work repeatable.
Culture & Discipline Building
Establishing principles, rituals, and shared standards that strengthen a design discipline and contribute to healthy, high-performing teams at the company level.
