Kyle Conrad makes awesome interactive experiences for folks like Taco Bell, Disney, and NBC Sports with empathy and attention to detail.

Hosted on GeoCities, it was a middle schooler’s dream of Star Wars: lightsabers, starfields, hyperspace, character profiles, and, of course, the Mos Eisley cantina band song playing in a MIDI loop in the background.

Since then, I’ve grown up alongside the web — the introduction of CSS, the explosion of JavaScript, the death of animated GIFs, the birth of Flash, the death of Flash, the rebirth of animated GIFs, Web 2.0, and too many search engines to mention. Along the way, I got an art degree and learned how to make digital products and websites a little bit better than that first one.

Now I'm a lead product designer for Taco Bell, your favorite place to grab a delicious taco at 3AM on the way home from an unforgettable night out with friends.

I live in Richmond, Virginia. I have a border collie named Logan (yes, after the X-Man). I’m a sneakerhead and font nerd. I organize my closet by color. I was born on a Friday. I’ve been to the emergency room in every place I’ve ever lived.
