This diverse background equips him with a deep understanding of industry-specific challenges and the ability to craft tailored, innovative solutions.

 

Evidence-driven research

Kevin specialises in conducting foundational and generative research to uncover deep User insights. By translating these insights into opportunities, he drives design decisions that align with both User needs and business objectives. His research expertise informs C-suite strategies, shapes product roadmaps, and guides product strategy through evidence-backed insights, ensuring that solutions are grounded in real-world data and deliver measurable impact.

 

Hands-on design production

He has extensive experience creating scalable design systems and crafting visually cohesive, functional designs that adapt to evolving product needs.

By iterating on feedback, he reduces risks, validates assumptions, and delivers meaningful outcomes. His expertise spans prototyping, journey mapping, information architecture, usability testing, and more, supported by tools like Figma, Sketch, and UserZoomGo.

Methodologies & best practices are fundamental tools but it really is all about PEOPLE in the end. From people we collaborate with to deliver value, to people we aim to serve.

People-first design

His experience coaching Design managers has reinforced the importance of sharing knowledge and empowering colleagues to grow.

  • I worked with Kevin in the amazing UX european community for over 2 years.
    He had the ability to build the community, engage people, evangelize and coach us all on important issues such as: lean UX, personas, user research, prototyping, user journey, user map.
    Now we are able to measure our UX results and outcome and our approach to the development is more user-centric.

  • Kevin led a huge leap in UX maturity across Europe over the two years we worked together at Wolters Kluwer.

    He guided me as a UX Lead to introduce design KPIs, upskill and coach my own team, advised in how to deal with all kinds of stakeholders and he provided training in research and collaboration methodologies that took our practice to the next level.

    I have a lot of respect and gratitude to Kevin.
