About Orion Kinkaid

Principal Product Designer at Hy-Vee

I’m a Principal Product Designer at Hy-Vee, leading UX direction and product strategy across digital experiences, mentoring designers, and partnering with product and engineering to deliver intuitive, personalized solutions.

I enjoy using my past and current experiences to foster design professionals from all walks of life — to grow, meet their career goals, or tackle any challenge ahead.

I prioritize working with people who show up authentically, so I only accept ADPList requests from profiles with a real photo and links to LinkedIn, a portfolio, or a personal site.
