Meet Kasey

About

Over the last 15+ years, I’ve designed and shipped user-centered products across startups, enterprise teams, AI, fintech, health, cybersecurity, and consumer products. I’ve also mentored and helped grow the careers of 100+ designers around the world. My focus is practical: help designers remove blockers, work through challenges, sharpen their craft, and become more confident in the work they’re already capable of doing. I care a lot about helping people find that spark again - the part of design that feels creative, useful, and deeply human.

How I can help

I help designers move through the messy middle of their career: building confidence, sharpening product thinking, navigating ambiguity, and turning their work into a stronger story. I’ve worked through many of the challenges designers face, including imposter syndrome, career pivots, unclear roles, messy product teams, design systems, stakeholder management, and being the first or only designer trying to create structure from scratch. I can help with: • Breaking into or pivoting into product design • Building confidence and working through imposter syndrome • Becoming a stronger product thinker, not just a better screen designer • Building or improving design systems • Navigating startup ambiguity as a first or only designer • Presenting work, influencing stakeholders, and earning trust • Using AI and prototyping tools to move faster without losing craft • Growing from IC designer into lead, senior, staff, or player-coach roles Coaching is valuable because design careers can feel vague from the inside. It’s hard to know what “good” looks like, what level you’re really operating at, or how to tell the story of your work. I help mentees zoom out, find the pattern, and turn uncertainty into a clearer path forward. My style is honest, practical, and encouraging. We can review your portfolio, talk through a career move, unpack a workplace challenge, strengthen a case study, build a plan for your next level, or help you get more confident using AI-assisted design and coding tools.

Returning from a break

A hard problem I've navigated

At an early stage healthtech startup, I coached a visual designer to transition into product design. She already had strong craft and visual instincts, so our work focused on building product judgment. The shift was not just about learning new UX methods. It was about helping her move beyond visual polish into product thinking: understanding user problems, mapping flows, considering constraints, and explaining the “why” behind her decisions. The result was a more confident designer who could own the problem, not just the pixels. She's now the lead product designer at the company.
