Taking in the Swiss sights with my mini me.
DESIGNER · PROBLEM SOLVER · PROFESSIONAL OVERTHINKER
Hello there, internet wanderer!
I’m Korey—an independent product and creative designer who helps teams make complicated ideas clearer, more useful, and a lot more human.
For more than a decade, I’ve designed digital products, scalable systems, and brand experiences across healthcare, enterprise technology, startups, and community organizations. I’m happiest at the intersection of strategy and craft: asking the useful questions, untangling the messy parts, and sweating the details that make an experience feel effortless.
How I work.
The work is serious. The process doesn’t have to feel stiff. I bring curiosity, candor, and a collaborative spirit to every engagement—whether I’m joining an established team or helping a founder shape something new.
-
I look past the first request to understand the people, constraints, and outcomes underneath it.
-
I turn dense workflows and competing requirements into systems people can confidently navigate.
-
I work openly with users, stakeholders, product partners, and engineers so good ideas survive delivery.
Beyond the pixels.
I’m a Midwest-based family guy, avid home cook, coffee-fueled tinkerer, and unapologetic bourbon enthusiast. When I’m not rearranging components, problem solving, or asking “but why?”, I’m probably experimenting in the kitchen, tackling a home project, planning an adventure with my family, or going happily down a nerdy rabbit hole.
Always learning.
Courses don’t replace experience—but staying curious keeps the toolkit sharp. These certifications support the systems thinking and Figma craft I use every day.
