Background

Kevin is one of those kids who missed the memo to stop drawing after the first grade. Nowadays, he splits his crayon time between Brickhouse, Yahoo!’s internal incubator and OK/Cancel, an online comic on design he co-founded.

He also co-founded a company for other like-minded crayon junkies in Off Panel Productions, an online comic publishing network. Kevin has previously exerted his sliver of influence at Yahoo! Maps, Yahoo! Local, Pipes, Adaptive Path and Trilogy. He holds a Masters degree from University College London in Human Computer Interaction and Ergonomics and has presented at numerous acronym laden conferences including the IASummit, UIE Web Summit, SIGCHI and SxSW. Rather than write a book himself, he’s found it far easier to simply have his comics appear in a handful of industry textbooks and magazines. He likes the flavour of the blue crayons the best.
