My Design Approach
Working in ambiguity and constraints
I often work on problems where the path forward is not clear due to technical limitations, operational complexity, incomplete data, or tight timelines. I focus on making deliberate tradeoffs, aligning stakeholders, and shipping solutions that work in the real world, not just ideal scenarios.
Systems and workflows over surface polish
Much of my work centers on systems such as design systems, enterprise workflows, and operational tools. I care about how decisions scale over time, how patterns hold up, how teams adopt them, and how users experience clarity across complex flows.
Research as a decision tool
I use research to reduce risk and guide prioritization through generative discovery, field studies, and validation testing. My goal is to help teams make better decisions faster, not to over polish or design in isolation.
Recommendations
“I had the pleasure of working closely with Kevin Lucey as a Senior Product Manager at ProductPlan. Our collaboration was central to conducting comprehensive user research and developing UI/UX designs that were not only aesthetically pleasing but also simple and intuitive for our users. Kevin’s exceptional skills as a Product Designer truly stood out throughout this process.
Kevin’s approach to design is both innovative and grounded in user needs, ensuring that every decision enhances the overall experience. Beyond his design expertise, Kevin’s strengths as a collaborator and communicator significantly contributed to the success of our projects. He consistently fostered an environment of open dialogue and creative exchange, ensuring that all voices were heard and considered.
Moreover, Kevin demonstrated remarkable versatility and agility in his role. He was adept at managing requests across multiple teams, often within tight deadlines, without ever compromising the quality of his work. His rapid turnaround times, without sacrificing attention to detail, made him an invaluable asset to our team and broader organization.

“Kevin has a real understanding of user experience and an amazing eye. He helped improve the look and feel of the product at ProductPlan immeasurably. Kevin also never shied away from running customer interviews, collecting metrics on user behaviors, and pushing the envelope on what good software can look like and do. Kevin has a real intuitive sense for how people interact with software, and he bases his opinions on data while providing amazing designs that aren’t just functional, but beautiful.
In addition to his ability, it’s rare to find a UI/UX engineer who also has a low ego and wants to do what’s best for the team overall. He is always willing to listen to counter opinions even if deep down, we all know he is right!
Kevin is also a great friend. I truly enjoyed working with him. Any company that lands Kevin will not only get a better looking product, but will also add a real joy of a human being which in many ways, is just as valuable if not more so than the talent he already possesses.”
“Kevin listens like no one else, making you feel heard in every conversation. When he shares his thoughts, you know it’s something impactful and well-considered. His honesty paired with a constant drive for improvement makes tackling challenges head-on alongside him a whole lot easier.
Kevin’s approach to the design process is thorough. He has incredible intuition. He sees when a design feels right. And yet, he dives into research to gain absolute confidence in his decisions. He does this not only to achieve product quality but also out of respect for the time and effort of everyone involved in his projects.
Kevin’s kindness and genuine care for those he works with make every project that much better. He brings a positive energy that makes even the most daunting tasks feel more manageable.
Having Kevin as a part of any team is a true asset, not just for his design expertise but for the overall morale and camaraderie he fosters. I’m looking forward to all the ways we’ll continue to collaborate and support each other in our careers.”
