Kelvin Man

Design engineer, Los Angeles

I'm the founding design engineer at DecorX, and I run SuperNice, a product studio.

I studied informatics, started out writing front-end code, moved into product, and taught myself design. Along the way I've worked with teams at Meta, Microsoft, Salesforce, GitHub, Moment (acquired by Patreon), Mirascope, and more.

When I'm not designing or building, I'm making generative art, learning to loop on guitar, or at a gallery somewhere in LA.
