Lead UX/UI Consultant - Infuse IT


“Kai has the honour of being my last consultant hire in my career. I needed a UX Consultant to help my product team develop its thoughts and understand some more on how to create a great user experience and style the user interfaces consistently and coherently according to their variant needs. I got lucky. Kai gave a masterclass in bringing the team up to the plate, forming the correct Q&A sessions, identifying persona's, developing clickable prototypes, style guides, colour palettes and generally mentoring the team. Thoroughly professional and great fun to work with.”
