About Me

Kevin Keiper

Senior Product Designer

My Personal Statement

My name is Kevin, and I design for business value.

I am an AI-centric researcher & product design professionals based in Los Angeles.

I help teams turn complex problems into clear, measurable outcomes through research-driven product design.

I have contributed to PayPal's Consumer Wallet product onboarding experience, and I deployed a poverty reduction PAAS in Bangladesh.

I managed the RWD SF meetup group in SF where I hosted a Rocket Lawyer event with Mark Otto, inventor of Bootstrap, and I have successfully mentored in the popular Springboard bootcamp.

I grew up in the Bay Area, my education includes a BA from UC Berkeley and multiple certificates in AI & UX.

I lead by example with humility, vulnerability, authenticity, and a focus on the business value of design.
