Kevin Phelan Chapter Advisor August 2006 – August 2010; February 2022 – Present Senior UX Designer Contact: deltabetaCA [@] sigmapi [dot] org LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-phelan-5b059b41/ |

The following is adapted from LinkedIn: With over a decade of professional experience, I’d consider myself somewhat of a jack of all trades in the design field. Cutting my teeth in print and later moving to interactive design, I’ve worked hard for both small startup type companies, as well as global agencies and picked up a lot along the way. I also pride myself on injecting some often much needed personality into the every day office life that becomes mundane. I’ve met and worked with some great people along the way and look forward to where technology takes us as we move forward with new ways of visualizing the growing wealth of information we have access to.
Kevin resides with his wife, Beth, in Monmouth County, New Jersey. |
