My Name is Kevin Segel, I grew up on Martha's Vineyard (year around not just the summer) and I graduated from Bentley University in May 2011 with a Major in Information Design and Corporate Communication with a major GPA of 3.7. I also received a minor in Computer Information Systems and have a good understanding of finance, marketing, management, and entrepreneurship.

I truly love the field of UX/UI design. I like to describe my work as "I think so the user doesn't have to". I am well read in usability research and socio-economics to determine behavior. My current favorite usability task is UX strategy or creating incentive systems to encourage or discourage a type of behavior while not changing the context of the experience.

I believe that usability is all about continual improvement. Nothing is ever finished or perfect, projects grow, change and evolve. My goal is to apply that ideology to my profession and to continue to grow, change, and evolve my skill set and expertise.
