About Me

I'm Steven Kruse, a 43 year old UX/UI designer, web designer, graphic designer, mobile app developer, and vibe coder based in Rockwood, Michigan.

Where Creativity Meets Technology

With over 25 years of experience in Web and Graphic Design and more than 10 years specializing in UX/UI Design, I've built my career around transforming ideas into intuitive, engaging, and visually compelling digital experiences.
My expertise encompasses User Experience (UX) Design, User Interface (UI) Design, Responsive Web Design, Mobile Application Interfaces, Graphic Design, Usability Testing, and Front-End Development. I combine creative thinking with technical knowledge to develop solutions that balance visual appeal, functionality, accessibility, and user needs.
I believe great design goes beyond aesthetics. It's about understanding how people think, how they interact with technology, and how thoughtful design can simplify complex challenges. Every project is an opportunity to solve problems, improve usability, and create meaningful connections between people and digital products.
As a forward-thinking designer and technology enthusiast, I'm constantly exploring emerging tools, modern development frameworks, and AI-assisted development techniques to enhance creativity, streamline workflows, and bring innovative ideas to life.
I'm a natural problem-solver who values collaboration, continuous learning, attention to detail, and taking pride in every aspect of my work. Whether I'm collaborating with a development team, contributing to an organization's digital strategy, or working directly with a client, my goal remains the same: deliver exceptional digital experiences that make a lasting impact.
I'm always interested in connecting with innovative companies, creative teams, and individuals who share a passion for technology, thoughtful design, and pushing creative boundaries.
Let's turn great ideas into exceptional experiences.
