I level up product and design execution, lead the work when you need it, advise on the hard calls, and get your team fluent in what's next. Guaranteed.
I step in as your design and product lead, setting direction, building the team, and staying hands-on until the work ships. I've grown design functions from a handful of people into enterprise organizations, through mergers and platform rebuilds. Senior judgment in the room, not just another deck.
Focused help on a hard problem: product strategy, finding product-market fit, the analytics that explain your users, or the AI roadmap that gets you ahead of the curve. I've done this for early startups and Fortune 500 CIOs alike.
Workshops that level up your team: design thinking, AI design tooling, and agentic interface design. I build with these tools myself, every day, so it stays practical, not theoretical. The goal: leave you able to do this without me.
"KC has a unique cross-disciplinary view of the world that's both refreshing and effective. He understands UX like no one else, and brings out the best in every team he leads. There are some people you'd hire again, any time, any day. KC is one of them."
"One of the most visionary and impactful leaders I've worked with. Before AI became mainstream, he was already upskilling the team and championing AI-driven product ideas that pushed us to think differently about the future."
"When it comes to AI, he may be one of the few leaders who truly gets it, and can guide a team through the transformation needed to meaningfully embed and embrace it."
"He translated business and editorial goals into effective strategy. His focus on results was crucial to growth from zero to one million average monthly uniques in under eight months."
"We reached out to KC to guide product strategy and design for our new iPhone app. He contributed brilliant ideas and built us a team of UI/UX superstars to get us to launch."
"KC helped us understand our subscribers' behavior, present content in a more relevant way, and enhance our in-app experience."
"If you're looking for a transformational leader within technology, look no further than KC. Working under him accelerated my abilities by at least three years."
"Under his leadership, our team won an Emmy, a Royal Television Society Award, and countless internal successes. A mentor, a role model, and a top-notch product manager."
"In over 25 years, reporting to dozens of different managers, KC was the clear winner. He's an amazing manager; I still miss his ideas and his keen observations."
I'm a design and innovation executive with engineering foundations and an MBA. Twice I've taken a young design function and built it into an enterprise capability. Most recently, I led a research-driven platform redesign that an A/B test attributed to $32.8M in incremental revenue in 2025. I care about work that moves the business.
I've shipped an experimental agentic UX agent, and I write publicly about where design and code are heading. Lately, my focus has been on AI, and I build it hands-on. Whether I'm leading a team, advising a founder, or running a workshop, the goal is the same: leave you sharper, faster, and ready for what's next.
