"Slaying Dragons" is a term that means solving complex, challenging problems. For over a decade I've been largely successful at solving cricital user problems and business challenges across a variety of industries, teams, and projects. I've helped ship solid, human-centered solutions driven by research, informed by data and instinct. I leverage insight and experience to navigate the course from idea to product, delivering end-to-end solutions enjoyed by millions. Take a look.
Working with Kasey has been a game-changer for our team at Cylinder. His ability to build and refine our design system has completely transformed our mobile and desktop experiences.
“Seriously, I was just thinking this morning about how grateful I am we brought Kasey on, INFINITELY improving what we're building. I will continue to shout it from the rooftops.”
In my previous role at Tribevest, I led growth and UX initiatives across the company's multiple products and platforms to raise customer acquisition, retention, and general usability. We helped thousands level-up their personal lives by making group-investing easier, seamless, and fun. See it
At SiriusXM, I proudly helped build the new website experience. From customer account management tools to the re-imagining of SiriusXM Sports, I worked across Design, Product, Marketing, and Dev teams to launch the Phoenix design system and increase multiple metrics. See it

I Owned the product design and UX initiatives on one of U Group's primary Department of Defense contracts and largest challenges. worked along side four product and development work-streams to build a start of the art web application to help Military Branches find and fund small businesses and academia to build innovative technology.
I led a small team of UX designers to do the fun design stuff like; user research, discovery, competitive analysis, ideation, wire-framing, prototyping, user testing, and implementation with development.
Aside from the web platform, I was responsible for leading workshops, coaching designers, and elevating Product Design and User Experience across the organization.

At GEICO, I collaborated with various product and development teams and User Researchers to transform functional specs, test results, and business requirements into successful design solutions and product updates.
During a mobile app redesign effort I started with analysis of the mobile app's user pain points, which pointed me at the login experience. My redesign concept had a minimalist design aesthetic which in turn created a more focused user experience. This concept when tested three times in three groups resulted in a major success rate jump from its current login screen at 33% to the new concepts at 80%~.
I was invited to participate in an internal team competition to create a cutting-edge mobile experience using IBM’s Watson AI technology. My team’s next-level concept was chosen by the C-Level to inspire the next generation insurance assistant.
I worked on an array of products at GEICO including their award-winning mobile app. I've been told I helped push the team forward, think outside of the box, and to not be afraid to take risks.

At Radolo - my first full time gig - I created simple, intuitive design solutions for custom web-based software and mobile apps.
Our small team helped clients reach their full potential, for real. We listened to what they needed and we delivered kick-ass, successful solutions to help raise customer conversion, manage teams and tasks, provide users with insights and real-time data so decision-makers can do their job more efficiently.
I was a part of the Design Army of Two and we were responsible for many initiatives. We led requirement sessions with clients to find the real problems and worked closely with them to provide the best possible solutions. We implemented the interactive features with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, ASP.NET, SQL Server and other technologies. We also helped test and quality check builds.
From design and user experience to front end development I learned a lot within these two years.
I've been known to inspire, educate, and speak on topics such as UX, AI, and Community Building. I've helped others find their spark and navigate their life and career by sharing practical, real world advice through my own interesting life experiences.
When COVID 19 turned our lives upside down, I sadly had to walk away from District Creatives and I moved cross-country, twice. On my way down to Austin, Texas in August of 2021 I decided it was time to kick-start another community initiatve. Following in the footsteps of District Creatives, which I loved so much, I named this new group Austin Tech & Experience group or simply, ATX. Using the knowledge gained from District Creatives over the last four years we are growing quickly! We host continuous coffee club meetups on East 6th St every month, as well as happy hours, socials, presentations and more. Learn more about ATX
Vincent Wanga and I founded the meetup group District Creatives and grew it to nearly 3,000 members. It is a fellowship of Designers, Developers, Artists, Architects, Photographers, Craftsmen and Creatives alike. We strongly promote and curate a diverse and collaborative community of like-minded professionals and innovators. We emphasize and encourage strong member engagement, casual networking, creative social events, inclusivity, mentoring, peer collaboration and civic pride. Our group is open to all, without bias or pretension, even if your creativity is not professionally defined, so long as your interests align. Although I have stepped away from District Creatives, the group still lives. Learn more about District Creatives.
