In the latest instalment of Meet the Team<\/strong>, we\u2019re going under the microscope with Kavan Webb, our User Experience Designer here at ProdPad. You\u2019ll probably know him from MTP or if you\u2019ve been involved in user\/beta testing, checking out all the exciting things coming up in the product.

Since Joining Kav has entertained us with his bone-dry sense of humour, given us the first peek at the next great children\u2019s book character, Jimothy Bear! (He\u2019s coming for you Peppa.) But most importantly Kav tirelessly works on leading ProdPad into the future with his fantastic UX design skills.

Over to you Kav!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"This<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explain what you do<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I am ProdPad\u2019s User Experience Designer. I use a mixture of research, data, customer feedback, customer interviews and user testing to design both the ProdPad product itself and the marketing site so that they are the best that they can be.

I also design all other ProdPad collateral, whether that be a new logo, any illustrations, t-shirts and conference material, printed ephemera and anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What did you do before ProdPad?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I worked for a digital marketing company as a UX Designer in the Product Team, designing their self-service email sending product. Think Mailchimp, but better. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes you excited to work at ProdPad?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

ProdPad is made up of such great people, both clever and fun. I love seeing how my work is changing the product for the better and helping the company grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Favorite productivity app?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sketch. There is no competition with regards to vector-based design and illustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Favorite time-wasting app?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I think mine\u2019s probably quite a boring one, but when I\u2019ve got a spare 5 minutes, I often crack out Solitaire on my iPhone. I\u2019m terrible at it with a 7.2% win rate, but it\u2019s the only app that ever survives my periodic app cull. I think it\u2019s probably the only app that has survived since I bought a 3GS in 2009.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most famous person you’ve ever met?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve met a lot of famous people, some probably more so than my choice, but for me meeting Rivers Cuomo of the band Weezer is the most famous person I\u2019ve ever met. He\u2019s my actual hero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Kav<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Favorite thing about working remotely?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

That I get to see my son. \u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Puppies or kittens?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Puppies! I have a Pug, Rivers (Yes\u2026 He\u2019s named after that Rivers mentioned above). He\u2019s my boy. He was the cutest puppy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Kav<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have any hobbies?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I enjoy spending time with my girlfriend, son and Pug. I love music and go to lots of live gigs. I am also a big movie fan.

I\u2019ve recently started writing and illustrating children\u2019s picture books in my spare time. I\u2019ve completed one so far and had it printed, with work on the next in the series in progress. My son told me that it\u2019s his favourite book.

And finally tell us a fun fact about you?<\/b>

I once had a near-miss in being kidnapped by Saddam Hussein in Kuwait. Not particularly fun. My fun fact is that I was in Andrew Lloyd Webber\u2019s \u2018Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat\u2019 at the London Palladium in the West End for about 6 months in the 90\u2019s. 20ish years later I went to see Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys at the same venue. It was weird watching a performance from the audience instead of from the stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
