Kevin did a fantastic design thinking workshop for my Fundamentals of Entrepreneurship class. The students got exposed to the entire design thinking process—Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, Test, and Share. Kevin was passionate, articulate, and patient. The students thoroughly enjoyed the session and left with prototypes on hand and pumped up for design thinking and entrepreneurship.

Kevin spoke to us about how to come up with ideas and how NOT to get married to them until we identify a ‘big’ problem. He inspires creativity and helps participants focus on addressing significant challenges.

Kevin organized and led several workshops, including a day-long hybrid event, through which we engaged the broader community in structured discussions. His ability to facilitate a design thinking process helped participants develop their own skills while framing ongoing discussions critical to professional growth.
