Kevin Clayland
Design Team Lead / Principal Product Designer
New York City
I've spent 12 years at Infor Birst shaping how enterprise users make sense of their data. I was the sole designer on a ground-up mobile BI suite that shipped to customers including United Airlines, Disney, and Clarks, contributing to Birst's recognition as a Leader in the 2015 Forrester Wave for Cloud Business Intelligence Platforms and its #1 ranking in Dresner's Wisdom of Crowds Cloud BI Market Study for four consecutive years. I went on to co-design the replatform of our data integration system, which later became the architectural basis for Infor's own data connection flow. More recently, I helped drive GenAI integration across 10+ features of our flagship analytics platform, led a redesign of the platform, and stepped into a Design Lead role, managing a direct report and contributing to the growth of the team.
Open to Design Lead, Principal Designer, and Design Management roles.
