About Kevin Cassidy
I'm a passionate user experience and visual designer with 25+ years of experience.
I’m currently the Design Director at Simplifeye, a healthcare startup with a focus on providing software, tools, and services that help practices create a vastly streamlined and superior patient experience. It’s an exciting role that allows me to touch all aspects of design - from UX, to visual, to print, and beyond.
Prior to Simplifeye, I worked with some of the largest brands in the U.S., like Microsoft, TD Waterhouse, E*TRADE, and Prudential Financial.
I’ve hired, built, and led teams from 1 to 50+ but always remain a hands-on designer.
One common element I’ve focused on, no matter the size of the company, is SYSTEMS - creating clean, intuitive user experiences that scale, making them beautiful along the way.
I'm a practical evangelist of design thinking - because it’s as much about defining and solving a problem as it is about great design.
