About Ken Gard

Sr. Product Designer L6 at Amazon

I’ve been doing design for the past 20+ years, and have been a Sr. Product designer for the past 6 years. I started my design career in Architecture, and after 10 years was feeling unfulfilled in the field of architecture. Technology has always been an interest of mine and have dabbled in coding since high school. I transitioned into the tech sector in 2014 after completing a web development program and graduate studies in Human Centered Design at the University of Washington.

Over the past 10 years as a product designer I've spent time in large tech companies, start-ups and have run my own design business.

I can help you with -Career Transition -Portfolio Reviews -Interview Preparation -Product Lifecycle(design and stakeholder management)
