01
I step in as your product and/or design lead
With a track record of shipping from seed to enterprise, I build high-performing teams, reboot organizations, define strategy at the Fortune 100 scale, and drive product ROI.
Fractional product and design leadership
Strategy and execution, when you need it.
I level up product and design execution, lead the work when you need it, advise on the hard calls, and get your team ready for what's next.
What I do
Three ways to work together.
02
Consulting
Focused help on a hard problem: product strategy, finding product-market fit, research and analytics that explain user behavior to uncover hidden pain points, and the roadmap that gets you ahead of the curve.
03
Training
Workshops that level up your team: product, design and engineering process and execution, design thinking, AI design tooling, and agentic interface design.
In their words
The people I've worked with, and for.
"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 help organizations translate product and design into differentiated strategy and execution.
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.
