Kyle L.

Senior Product Designer with 6+ years and 500+ projects shipped across AI, SAAS, Fintech, and MedTech My designs have driven $7.5M+ in measurable business growth. I'm Top-Rated Plus on Upwork (top 3%). Founders and product teams hire me when they need a senior designer who can ship. 🧭 What I do for product teams ✨ AI-native product design. I work with conversational UIs, agentic workflows, trust-and-uncertainty patterns, and human-in-the-loop interfaces. I prototype in AI tools daily (Claude Code, Cursor, Figma MCP). 🧩 Mobile & SaaS product design. Consumer mobile (iOS/Android), B2B SaaS dashboards, fintech, healthtech, and emergency response. End-to-end ownership from research through developer handoff. 🎬 High-fidelity prototyping. Figma prototypes, ProtoPie, and React-coded prototypes when Figma can't go far enough. Prototypes that win pitch decks, unblock engineering, and validate ideas before they get built. 📈 Selected results ✅ UX/UI Designer for a Fintech Mobile App Redesign Full UX/UI redesign of a fintech mobile platform after a brand refresh tanked conversion. ▪ +6% conversion rate ▪ +18% user engagement ▪ +30% user growth ▪ Expanded service module across mobile and web ✅ UX/UI Designer for a Wellness iOS App Redesigned mood-tracking and onboarding flows for a high school wellness platform. ▪ Conversion rate lifted from 8% → 12% (50% relative increase) ▪ Refreshed brand system across product and marketing ▪ Improved daily retention through emotionally engaging journeys ✅ UX/UI Designer for a Healthcare Emergency Response (Tablet) Reimagined a non-emergency medical transport app from MVP to production-ready.

I prototype in code when it's faster than Figma, which is increasingly often. ✍️ How I work Async-first, weekly Figma walkthroughs, fast turnarounds. I don't pad hours. I don't disappear. I ship. 📍 Based in Traverse City, MI (US Eastern Time), working with clients globally.
