Kevi Akemi Louis-Johnson is a creative director, designer and owner of the most calming voice on either side of the Mississippi river. She started in the broadcast world designing motion graphic packages for MTV, creating broadcast commercials for CD releases, and music videos for Atlantic Records. She took her passion for storytelling into the physical environment designing visitor experiences for the Empire State Building, reimagining the beauty retail experience for Nordstrom, leading UX/UI strategy and design for the global rollout of the new Starbucks Mastrena machines, and product innovation for Mrs. Meyers.  

Kevi believes the most powerful solutions are rooted in understanding both the function and feeling of an experience. This understanding stems from her collaborative and listening skills during the research and strategy phases. This work has taken her from the Philippines to Switzerland, Washington D.C., NYC and back to Seattle to engage with a diverse list of global brands like Airbus, GE, McKesson, and Google. Her creative philosophy is to solve complex challenges with tenacious vision and focus, designing stunning brand experiences that are compelling, provocative and uniquely personal.

Kevi is at her best working with diverse and innovative people, leading multi-disciplinary teams with empathy while setting high expectations. Structuring how teams complement and remain engaged is as important as the product. As a leader, she believes in creating inclusive spaces for all voices so the team can challenge the status quo with intention. To her, this is essential to growth as individuals and as a collective.
