Justin Solves Problems

I’m Justin Kunkel. I am a service, product and interaction designer currently working as a Contract UX Designer at YouTube. Most of my work cannot be shared publicly, but if you’d like to see my portfolio, please feel free to ask me.

Justin is one of the best system and service designers that I have worked with in my career. He has made an enormous contribution to the YouTube TV operations team. He has a fantastic ability to resolve complex design problems, notably some of the bigger ones that plagued the operations team since we conceived of the product. He delivers excellent work to the highest standards. He is able to work independently and also as part of a team. If I were looking to hire for a team, Justin will be one of the top of my list.

I like to take things apart, see how they work and put them back together. For more than a decade I’ve been solving problems in government, education, healthcare, startups and enterprise technology. I’ve worked as a service designer, a researcher and a product designer, but I feel the lines between these things is – and should be – blurred. To me, curiosity is the hallmark of a great designer, and mine is insatiable (sometimes to the annoyance of my family and friends). Throughout my career I’ve tended to find a place with interesting problems to solve and stuck around, but I’m always interested in new opportunities. In addition to my professional work, I am an adjunct professor of design at Millersville University, showing students that there’s far more to design than pushing pixels.
