Hi, I'm Klew!

Hi, I'm Klew!
(she/her)
I'm a designer and design manager who believes in laser-focusing on user outcomes. I love small teams, Lean product, and leading design thinking.
When I'm not designing, I show artwork with 40West Arts District, teach martial arts at the University of Colorado, and talk to my dog Starbuck like she's a human child.

Delivering on OKRs
Every project I contribute to is concretely anchored in measurable, descriptive, and precise success metrics. Every design decision I make, from a button label to the shape of a complex workflow, is answerable to those goals and measurable against them.

Design Leadership
Building a team, leading a team, collaborating in a team of peers or being a team of one - I've done it all and I always bring design thought leadership across my peers and to my management team. I can start and steward an expert design process and evangelize the value of excellent design.

Lean UX Effectiveness
I am a true believe in the Lean product and design method. The best research is just enough; the best design is the first to value. I prioritize ruthlessly and know from deep experience that the only best product is the one you iterate towards live with your users.

A Few Words from Past Teammates
"What really stands out is Klew's bias toward action. She doesn’t just talk about ideas—she gets things done.. I believe Klew embodies the word CATALYST."
Adam Dworak
Design Leader and current peer
"It’s rare that you come across standout talent like Klew....Klew is not only an amazing UX designer who is passionate about users and backs up her assumptions through research, but she is truly a jack-of-all-trades."
Kimberly Gant
Group PM and former manager
"Klew was a constant force for "better" at AO, making sure that corners were not cut, non-obvious things were considered, and designs were well thought out... Aside from the work itself she was an ideal colleague."
Quentin Hartman
CTO and former department leader
"As a colleague- Klew is a delight to work with. Will she show up to the meeting wearing a fake mustache? Maybe....As a manager- I couldn’t have gotten luckier to have Klew’s guidance over the past 3+ years."
Adrienne de Amicis
UX Designer and former direct report
