Quintin Kok
@quintinkok
Product Design Manager with a passion for design and mentorship.
What I'm looking for
As a seasoned design professional, I've had the privilege of working with various clients and teams to deliver exceptional design experiences. My expertise lies in product design management, user experience design, and research, with a strong focus on mentorship and team development. I've had the opportunity to work with top companies, including MakeReign and Helm, where I've implemented efficient workflows and processes, and developed team members through mentorship and training.
In addition to my industry experience, I've also had the pleasure of sharing my knowledge as a visiting lecturer at the University of Pretoria, where I facilitated BA Information Design projects. I hold a BA Information Design (Hons) degree from the University of Pretoria and a Service Design certification from the Interaction Design Foundation.
I'm passionate about identifying and nurturing young talent in the digital design industry, which is why I lead MR.academy, a program that aims to up-skill and mentor young South Africans in the field.
