Hello there!
I’m David Kennedy, freelance UI/UX & Product Designer.
I’ve been designing mobile apps and digital products for over 15 years, from Video Games to Apps and Websites and even worked at Apple in California on the App Store, Game Center and Apple Arcade.
I bring a unique mix of design, business and technology to my work.
I'm a designer, first and foremost, and am passionate about creating user experiences and digital products that are innovative yet simple to use.
I've got real-world business experience of creating and launching digital products and services. I've worked with entrepreneurs, startups, studios and businesses of all sizes. I have design leadership experience, so comfortable talking to any stakeholders at any level.
I'm also technical, given my degree in Computer Science and engineering background, so don't mind diving into the details with engineering to understand platform capabilities and opportunities.
Much of my work is protected by NDAs but feel free to reach out if you would like to know more about my process, skills and work or simply have a chat about your next project.
