Hold Fast Studio is the independent design practice of Kevin Korpi, a Bend Oregon-based designer, writer, and product strategist.

For over two decades, I've been obsessing about all things product design, working with some incredible people and companies along the way. From developing cutting-edge camera products at GoPro, Moment, and Contour Cameras to shaping user experiences for millions at Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, to building zero-to-one products at startups and agencies in Japan and the US, I've had the privilege of working on a ton of fun, complex, and interesting products.

My experience spans hardware/software integration, AI interfaces, consumer products, B2B applications, and health & fitness solutions. I'm comfortable working with companies at any stage—from early ideation to refining mature products.

What drives me is collaborating with forward-thinking teams to create products and services that make a real difference. To me, design isn't a secret formula; it's a team sport.

Whether you're a startup with a napkin sketch or a tech giant looking to innovate, I'm ready to dive in. Having worked from Tokyo to Seattle to Bend, OR, I'm adaptable to various team setups and environments.

Let's chat about how we can create something amazing together.
