      <image:title>KlosEncounters: Encounters of the UX Kind - Kevin Klos designs accessible, human‑centered digital experiences at enterprise scale.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’m a Minneapolis‑based Senior Product Designer specializing in accessible, user‑centered digital experiences. My work blends human‑centered design, data‑informed decision‑making, and WCAG accessibility standards to deliver inclusive, intuitive solutions at scale. I collaborate closely with product, engineering, and research to frame ambiguous problems, influence product direction and ensure accessibility is built into design systems and workflows. I use tools like Figma, UserZoom, and Miro, along with AI‑assisted workflows (including Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT) to accelerate research synthesis, support best‑practice validation, and streamline documentation — creating more time for strategic design thinking and team impact. I’ll be speaking at Open Source North this May: Beyoncé, Domino’s Pizza, and the Web Accessibility Battlefield: What You Must Know.
