Kevin Lynagh

This is my personal website, where I write rough notes to organize my thoughts.

Keming Labs is my software/design consulting firm.

Please email me if you’re curious about implementation details or research background on any of my projects.

What Kevin is doing now

I’m currently in Queenstown, New Zealand working on:

Subform, a CAD-inspired UI design tool that I’m building with @ryanlucas
Finda, a recognition-based, information-dense computer interface to end the tyranny of GUI windows, tabs, and useless hierarchy

I’m currently not working on (but may pick up later):

Designing a workshop: I decided to postpone a summer 2017 build to focus on Subform
Speaking at conferences: After 20+ talks across 8 countries, I’m taking a break
Artisanal cell phone: I have a working prototype, but am currently stuck on aesthetic challenges
