About Kelly Gedvilas

Sr. Product Designer at Microsoft

I’m a badass, creative visionary who dreams big and aims high. I’m endlessly curious and motivated to inspire through intentional, designed experiences that make a difference.

My career was grounded in fine art, graphic design and brand development. After graduating with a Graphic Design degree from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, I ended up at Helium Creative, a brand development studio that I’d be at for the next 5 years of my career.

There came a point where I found more interest and passion in doing interactions and digital experiences. One day I was really inspired by how a button animated and after some self-teaching and immersing myself in every product book I could get a hold of, I scored a scholarship from Uber to do a UX/UI bootcamp at Ironhack Miami. One month after the bootcamp finished, I moved to Atlanta to start that product journey. There, I joined Digital Scientists where I did R&D for digital experiences on products, platform integrations and special incubation projects for companies like Mailchimp.

Today, I’m serving as a designer at Microsoft. When I’m not working on solving problems for users at a global scale, you can find me scoping out new spots to feed my inner foodie and cocktail fiend.
