About - KOY Designs
Bio
Hi, I’m Klarence — a web developer/designer and creative technologist with a passion for turning complex problems into elegant, user-friendly digital experiences.
With over a decade of experience, I specialize in designing and building websites that are visually engaging, lightning-fast, and accessible to everyone. My work combines thoughtful UX design with clean, scalable front-end code to create solutions that not only look great but truly serve the people who use them.
I’ve contributed to over 40 internal applications at Cisco Systems and helped shape the design system at Castlight Health (now Apree Health), ensuring consistency and usability across their digital platforms.
I thrive where design meets development — blending creativity with logic to craft experiences that are intuitive, inclusive, and impactful.
When I’m not working, I’m usually geeking out over design systems, exploring new web technologies, teaching UX/UI at Austin Community College, or sketching new ideas with a pen and notebook.
Outside of work, I’m also a proud husband, father, and fur dad.
Why Web Design, Why Now?
I decided to take a Photoshop class in my second semester of Community College in San Diego. I loved it so much that the Professor convinced me to take his other Web Development classes. In a Typography class I developed a logo for KOY Designs, the name I chose for my dream of running my own Web Design company.
I delayed my dream, focusing on my career working for startups and enterprises — until now.
Let’s create something purposeful together.
