I’m a designer
Remember the future we imagined when we were children? Those unreasonable fancies limited only by our imaginations? I never stopped wanting those unbelievable things. So, I’ve dedicated my life to making them.
My name is Kevin-Ken Kempis, and I’m a designer, technologist, and innovator. I’ve built glasses that reveal imaginary worlds. Humans that do and don’t exist. Experiences you not only remember—but actually remember you back.
I’m happiest learning, experimenting, discovering and reinventing. I live to solve problems, and I wake up every day building the things I feel are missing in the world.
