As you’ve probably already guessed, my name is Keven Lupien. I’m a UI and UX designer who enjoys solving problems with simple solutions. Making it all look good is the icing on the cake.
Solving problems with simple, creative solutions is what I strive for. When someone says “Wow, that was easy” I know I’ve done my job. Making it all look good with the appropriate design style is the finishing touch.
