Sarah Pettycord - Marketing Communications Specialist at FieldLevel“Kevin is a fantastic designer with a creative, open mind. Though he and I did not work directly together very often, when we did, it was a pleasure. I know any company would be lucky to have him, and I would highly recommend him.
Kevin’s joyful nature paired with his knack for cultivating a positive workplace culture made him an incredible teammate. He was constantly striving for seamless cross-team collaboration on projects and when our teams worked together, we did some awesome things. Kevin helped me learn how magical it can be when product teams and marketing teams work together, and I am immensely grateful for that.
He also always directly pushed for our team members to connect on a personal level through social events like our fantasy football league and weekly virtual “tea time.” It was always clear to me that Kevin wanted to get to know me and all of our other teammates, and he really made FieldLevel feel like a family.
Kevin is a talented team player through and through, and will surely bring value and synergy to any company. I genuinely enjoyed working with Kevin and getting to know him for the past few years, and I could not recommend him more highly.”

Matt Plotner - Senior Product Manager at FieldLevel“Kevin and I worked together for several years at FieldLevel. During our time together there we worked in an independent product group that was focused on finding key problems and opportunities within our platform and then working with our customers to find solutions. Kevin was the lead designer on our team. He always provided valuable insights in our collaboration during this time. I could always count on him to talk to customers to learn more about the core issues and then provide creative solutions to address them. We delivered several features and products together within the FieldLevel app during this time.
Kevin is also a natural leader as he proved when he led his own product team as he shifted into the product manager role during his later time at FieldLevel. I saw him and his team successfully deliver many new features and additions to the app.
Kevin also has great public speaking skills. He delivered many helpful presentations to the company outlining discovery and research that he was working through at the time.
I really enjoyed working with Kevin. He has a great personality and sense of humor and will be an excellent addition to any organization. He is a very talented individual and will be a great asset to any company he chooses to pursue.”

Kevin’s a great team player, and extremely easy to work with. Every time I joined a team that Kevin had been working on, he made sure to do whatever it took to help me get up to speed.
