Wells Riley – Our New Product Designer

Kicksend empowers everyday, non-technical people to connect better with people they love. One very important way we accomplish this is through carefully constructed interaction design on all of our web and mobile products. As such we’re always searching intensely for amazing new talent to join our small product team.

Today, we’re ecstatic to announce that Wells Riley will be joining the Kicksend team full-time as our very first product designer. He’s now tasked with taking Kicksend’s interaction design and UI up multiple notches in the next few months – i.e, Wells will be fighting for the users.

You might be familiar with Wells’ work already. He was the creator of ‘Startups, This is How Design Works‘ – a very popular and stunningly beautiful online treatise on interaction design and how it applies to tech products.

Prior to Kicksend, Wells was also the founder and Creative Director of Bionic Hippo, an experimental design and development consultancy based out of Boston. He has a BFA in Graphic Design from Northeastern University.

When he’s not helping our product engineers sweat the small stuff, Wells likes to hike, restore vintage Mac hardware and buy copious amounts of design books.

You can reach him at wells [at] kicksend [dot] com, or on Twitter @wellsriley.

P.S: We’re always hiring.
