A designer working on digital products and visual systems.

Leading product and brand design at Unsplash. I’ve been there since the early days and worked on nearly every part of the platform, from core product experiences to side projects and tools used by millions. Unsplash was acquired by Getty Images in 2021.

Prior to Unsplash, I was part of Crew, a curated marketplace for freelancers, where I shaped the brand, fundraising story, and later Crew Collective & Café. Crew was acquired by Dribbble in 2017.

Based in Montreal. Find me on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn or email me at info@kinsrillz.com.

That’s me!
Outside of my day-to-day, I enjoy traveling, wine, house music and taking photos with my pocket camera-phone.
