Fractional Design Systems Lead

Founded in 2021, Kindred is a pioneering members-only home swapping network that facilitates authentic travel experiences through direct exchanges of homes. It empowers members to travel freely, significantly lowering costs associated with traditional accommodations. Members can book stays at other members' homes without the burden of nightly rental fees, instead only paying for cleaning and a small service fee. This innovative model promotes real connections and trust among users, differentiating itself from conventional rental platforms.

The Kindred community includes over 80,000 homes in more than 100 cities globally. This allows members to explore diverse locations while enjoying the comforts of home. The platform prioritizes safety and care, ensuring that all listed homes are well-maintained and occupied by individuals who also love to travel. Members start their journey with 5 travel credits at signup, allowing them to experience the platform before hosting. By combining the joys of travel with the values of hospitality and community, Kindred is reshaping the travel landscape and creating meaningful experiences for its members.
