About Me

Kevin Hawkins is an award-winning, multi-disciplinary design leader. He’s been a serial startup founder, product designer, and is a seasoned instructor at GrowthTribe, General Assembly, and Georgetown University for UX and Data Visualization. He is a gay, Liberian-American with 15 years of experience building communities and launching products. He also does interior design.

Previously, he’s been lucky to work for companies such as Booking.com, PwC, EY, Gap Inc, and more. At the start of his career, he was a self-taught front-end developer and then a design contractor for small businesses and science NGOs in Washington, DC. He transitioned into user research and user experience management as he worked with national clients with high accessibility requirements. He now resides in Barcelona, Spain.

In his free time, he travels the world (52 countries, 46 U.S. states) to learn from how others dance, cook, and solve problems from different perspectives.
