Kevin Kwok

Interaction Designer

San Francisco, CA, USA
I am an interaction designer at frog design and based out of San Francisco.

I graduated from Art Center College of Design with a degree in graphic design and have previously worked at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).

I live and breathe wireframes, mobile apps, concepts, user research and prototypes. I like to think I bridge the gap between visual design and developer. I love working with a team to ship something everyone can be proud of.

I am an avid follower of technology, and a Star Wars fanatic. In my spare time I like to watch movies, play video games and from time to time take on a freelance job or two. May the Force be With You.
