Kendall Johnson - Product Designer AI Portfolio

About Me

Hello.

I’m Kendall Johnson, a product designer with a background in psychology and a passion for transforming complexity into clarity. What began as childhood sketches evolved into a career grounded in visual storytelling, systems thinking, and user behavior. With formal training in behavioral research and statistics, I bring a user-centered lens to every project — grounded in data, guided by empathy, and driven by purposeful design. I’ve led initiatives across enterprise platforms, AI tools, and B2B systems, often owning the process from strategy through execution.

What I Do

I specialize in designing end-to-end experiences, shaping product direction, and simplifying complex workflows at scale. My approach is collaborative and pragmatic — rooted in the belief that great design helps businesses move faster and users feel seen. Let’s build systems that work beautifully and intelligently.
