Product Design | Product Strategy, Product Leadership

Hi, I'm Kory. I'm a seasoned, innovation-driven product designer with ~20 years of experience who has shaped product vision and strategy—and delivered high-impact, high craft user experiences—at some of the most prominent, culture-shaping consumer tech companies in the world. I bring an innovative, humanistic approach to product design and problem solving—and while honing my abilities to cast vision and invigorate peers, my commitment to human-centered problem solving, innovative approaches to difficult problems, and high-craft design execution has become a boon to the teams and projects I've helped lead. I approach my life and career with a unique sense of curiosity that has led me to designing and crafting user experiences at the highest level in consumer tech (Apple, Meta), autonomous retail and consumer AI (Walmart), as well as helping redefine how we consume and engage with media and information (Meta, Twitter) and exploring emergent social experiences (Meta, Twitter, Wave) that are all shaped by vision, driven by craft, and grounded in research. One more thing. As they say, the proof is in the pudding—and with 17 co-inventor patents spanning my work at Apple, Meta and Walmart covering innovation in user experience, interface design and forward-looking software systems. These patents reflect a deep investment in understanding and shaping how people interact with technology at scale.
