I’m a designer * developer building user experiences for the web.
Kyle Palermo is a designer and web developer born and raised in San Jose, California and currently based in Brooklyn, New York.
I design and code thoughtful, performant experiences rooted in the visual principles and painstaking standards of traditional graphic design. I focus on design systems, interaction design, accessibility, and web technology.
I’m currently a senior designer at Fivetran, where I own our fivetran.com design system and design for core site experiences like our pricing page, data source catalog, and docs site. I first learned design on the job and later earned an MFA in communications design from Pratt Institute. My work draws on 10+ years in design and deep roots in customer facing roles, digital marketing, research, and writing.
