Designing for happier humans and fewer clicks.

I'm Keith, a senior UX designer who makes complex enterprise tools and AI agents feel simple. I spent 5 years designing at Salesforce, where my work helped close $110M+ in deals and saved users hours every week. These days I'm prototyping with AI and building with code.

02 / About

Designer, artist, & teacher.

Keith Mistler

My path into UX wasn't traditional. That's my secret weapon.

Before tech, I spent 20+ years as an artist and a decade teaching design. I hold an MFA from Boston University. That background shows up in everything I do: visual craft, a feel for how people learn, and a habit of making complicated things clear.

At Salesforce I designed tools for the people who sell: enterprise platforms, agentic AI, and research that pushed UX upstream into strategy. I love running workshops, partnering closely with engineers, and helping teammates pick up new tools like AI prototyping.

From teacher to experience designer.

I sat down for a podcast interview about trading the classroom for UX, and why a non-traditional path makes for better design.

Painting, cyanotypes, live music, and community. The making never stops when the laptop closes.
