Leonardo Mattei
Senior Product Designer @ Apple
“Kieren is an incredible designer. I had the privilege of working with him at two different companies and the level of attention, care, and solid process that he brings to projects is rare to find.
Kieren doesn't focus on one aspect of design, he has the necessary breath that every designer should have, from strong visual skills to precise UX practices. One aspect of his personality is the key of his success as a designer: curiosity. Kieren is comfortable with uncertainty, hence he thrives in R&D projects and bringing a product from 0 to 1.
As an example, during our time at the Financial Times, he led the work for the FT Edit in a challenging corporate environment. He questioned the status quo and defined the journeys, the visual language of the product, and the overall design, and delivered an excellent product within the technical constraints. He navigated the process collaborating with all his cross-functional partners like the editorial team, the brand team, product and engineering. The app has been celebrated with really high ratings on the App Store and by the media.
Any teams would benefit from his skillset.”

“It’s been a privilege to work alongside Kieren during our time at ClearScore, whose expertise in product design truly sets him apart. Kieren excels in research, delving deep into user insights to uncover the nuances that drive design solutions. His approach is not just about aesthetics (which are also 1st class) but about crafting designs that resonate with user needs and preferences, thanks to his understanding of user behavior.
Kieren combines creativity with technical knowledge and a deep grasp of UX principles, making his designs both beautiful and practical. He is a master at implementing and adapting UX discovery processes, ensuring that designs address user problems, business objectives, and lead to meaningful outcomes.
His work is very well crafted, with every visual and technical aspect documented. Kieren collaborates effectively with stakeholders and cross-functional teams, sharing his knowledge and methods. He's not only a talented designer but also a great personality and fun guy to have on your team.”
