About Adam Kirkwood
I believe in a world where products are designed to improve the human experience.My design process is inspired by principles and is adaptive to the situation. I choose appropriate tools that allow me ideate, validate, and communicate clear and usable solutions.My design solutions are motivated by understanding the context that the problem lives within. I evaluate and unpack the problem to create focused solutions based on design principles, informed by data, meet business goals, and is supported by research.I define meaningful metrics that are measured against the performance of my design solutions that serve as my north star and to inform future iterations.I continually refine design solutions through rapid iteration cycles throughout the design process to reduce the design to its simplest and clearest form.I created Sketchpacks for macOS - manage and auto-update your Sketch plugins from the menu bar.
