about chris kirkman

With over twenty years’ experience in UX, UI, visual/graphic, and web design, Chris held positions such as Director of UX and Creative Director with an extensive background leading and working hands-on within many product and creative teams of large, publicly traded, and small startup sizes. His user-centered designs bring simplicity, a strong attention to detail, with usability held of high importance. He also codes responsive, standards-compliant websites using HTML5 and CSS3.

He co-founded two startups, one of which published a well-noted digital business card mobile app, uME, for iOS devices. He is currently the president of OCXD, once moving to Orange County, and previously was the local chapter President of SDXD (formerly SandCHI), one of the two largest UX (User Experience) design organizations in San Diego.

Chris loves the ocean, adventure, and travel. When time allows, you can find him and his wife, with their two kids, taking their ocean kayaks out, scuba diving, headed along a trail to the top of a mountain, or flying to new place to visit.
