Product Designer & Design Engineer · Salt Lake City
I design products and build the systems behind them.
For 7+ years I've designed and shipped work for Brand USA, Blip, Kota Solar, and a Goshute tribal childcare program. I take ideas from first sketch to production code, and I build the systems that help a whole team ship more.

View case studyHow I work
From first conversation to a product people use.
Listen
I start with the people who'll use and pay for the work, and find the real constraint: budget, time or privacy.
Decide
I prototype early, so decisions happen on screens instead of in long email threads.
Ship and grow it
I build it, watch how people use it, and keep improving it. The templates and tools I make help the whole team do more.
What I believe
Good design pays for itself.
Design is a cost decision.
At Kota, the right build choice saved over $100k a year.
Good systems multiply a team.
One well-built template saves hundreds of one-off files.
Accessibility is quality.
Clear contrast and simple flows help every user, not only some.
“Designing with Kam was a friendly and easy process.”Trevor McAlees, CEO, OKTA
