About
BACKGROUND
Hi there. My name is Kieran Evans. 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 how teams operate.
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.
I spend my days as Sr Director of Design at Craft, a user-centered research and design studio.
