Hi, I’m Kelsey 👋
My design practice is informed by a background in art, business, and teaching, as well as my time living in Kenya, Korea, Spain, and now Germany. Previously at Simply Secure, I designed/researched privacy and security software that protects people while they work, in high-risk situations, and during their day-to-day. Now I work at Digital Charging Solutions, where I make electric mobility less complicated for people and companies. I’m passionate about how design can help to mitigate the most impacting crises of our era.
My design methodology 🧭
- 10 sketches is a method I learned in high school art class to keep going to find more innovative solutions.
- Research is energizing and I’m looking to improve ways of telling others’ stories.
- Design principles help us prioritize, focus, and remember the big picture.
- I love all kinds of prototyping from highly realistic interactive mockups to crude sketches. And I love the feedback I can get from them.
- Less is more.
