Damon Kiley

I’m a Full Stack Designer and Senior Product Designer with 25+ years of experience across design disciplines and industries, specializing in turning complex ideas into usable product experiences. I bring both craft and technical leadership—especially when products involve AI workflows and visualization.

At Microsoft Quantum, I helped bring the organization’s first revenue-generating product from zero to launch, taking it through early prototypes, wireframes, and MVP production definition. I created product demos for senior Microsoft leadership that increased visibility and directly supported budget and additional headcount, while delivering design artifacts like explainer graphics, web collateral, and executive presentations.

I also provide UI coding and architectural decision expertise, streamlining development for an efficient, high-quality, easy-to-manage end product. In previous Microsoft roles, I led UX and information architecture work (including establishing a company-wide Visual Identity System) and supported multiple concurrent vendor technology solutions with strong quality focus.

Outside corporate work, I’ve owned and led product design and front-end delivery since 1999, including building an LMS + subscription marketplace that reached 250+ paying monthly subscribers within the first month. I’ve also led rebranding and feature work for an NFT marketplace at SongRise and designed internal tools for Apple Cloud Services, consistently pairing user research, storytelling, and cross-functional collaboration with Agile/Scrum execution.
