The Idea Guy®

I worked with Kevin on a community-centered design process using his Innovation Funnel model. As a consultant Kevin brings a unique and compelling set of skills -from being an expert in leading groups through design processes to agile communicator, web designer, marketing lead and webinar coordinator. Kevin supported our project from “end to end” and provided leadership that led to hundreds of people contributing to our work. More than one workshop attendee commented that our planning process was the best they had been part of.

Erik Mitchell, UC San Diego

Kevin’s expertise in organizing and promoting the events was invaluable, and his ability to facilitate a design thinking process helped participants to develop their own design thinking skills while framing ongoing discussions that are vital to the growth of the library and information profession. And best of all, we had fun! Kevin’s leadership allowed the project team to focus on the bigger picture issues while he managed the workshop/event logistics.

Jonathan Wheeler, University of New Mexico

We had the great pleasure of inviting Kevin as a keynote speaker at our annual conference. The conference brought together roughly 120 participants from the entire Swedish innovation ecosystem. In addition to his lecture, Kevin organized an appreciated workshop for selected participants in problem solving. Kevin delivered new ways of thinking about problems with enthusiasm and energy. Thank you very much Kevin!

Meals on Wheels San Diego County has collaborated with Kevin to come up with a dynamic and thoroughly vetted strategic plan for the next three years that will be our true North Star for our growth. Through his online platforms and tools to increase engagement, we were able to virtually bring together experiences, thoughts and dreams of our key stakeholders. The Idea Guy’s approach to getting to the core of problems and opportunities is both dynamic and engaging. If we are to double or triple our impact in the community, it’s not only our hard work but our smart work of where to go, that will have a lasting impact. We are grate

Brent Wakefield, Meals On Wheels San Diego County

I have had the privilege of observing Kevin’s outstanding work as both a colleague and a client. I hired Kevin as a consultant to create a design lab at UTRGV after seeing his great work in action at UCSD. I wholeheartedly recommend Kevin and his expertise. He has the ability to de novo a design lab as in our case, or just to provide continuous improvement to existing programs. And not only is his expertise beneficial, but everyone on or team loved working with the guy. I was not surprised!
