TESTIMONIALS

Jordan Higgins UXPA DC President:

"Kevin’s talk for the UXPA DC chapter on UX careers at a startup was one of the most popular and well attended events we’ve ever had. When we discussed that our members have a strong interest in career development and looking for new opportunities, Kevin created a presentation that was tailored to our audience based on his expertise in the field. Everyone highly engaged, and we received great feedback from our attendees. I would highly recommend him to any organization and event looking for a thoughtful and dynamic speaker."

Leila Aflatoony, Assistant Professor at Georgia Institute of Technology

"Kevin gave a lecture in the Senior interaction Design Studio at Georgia Tech's School of Industrial Design. He provided practical tips and strategies to students on how to be successful UX researchers. He also offered to speak with students outside of the time of the class to answer their questions, which we highly appreciate. Thank you Kevin for your time and for supporting students with their future career paths."

Jessica Vogt, Engagement Manager, Carnegie Mellon

"Thank you for the time you've shared with our students. Your insights were invaluable and will help our students continue to grow. We look forward to collaborating again in the future."
