Hi, I’m Kurt.

I’m a multi-disciplinary design lead, most recently working at Epic Games on Fortnite and its supporting creator tools. Previously, I’ve worked at Electronic Arts and Amazon.

A very little bit about me

I’ve been a product designer for nearly 20 years, always with a focus on ‘play’. Play is one of my core values as a designer and as a leader: it builds connection and is the foundation of creativity. Playful design transforms functional products into ones that drive desire. Teams that play together invent more, fear less, and perform higher. Regardless of whether it’s a premium entertainment experience or the back-office tools that run it, my responsibility is to make it as enjoyable as possible both to use the product and to work on the team building it.
