Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKevin Andersen is a founder and interaction designer based in Copenhagen with seven years of experience designing tools and products that extend human creativity and cognition. He founded Super Ultra to build practical design-led software and hardware prototypes, and previously led interaction and tool-building teams at Bang & Olufsen and the LEGO Group. His work uniquely blends rapid prototyping, embedded firmware development, and research collaborations—he was embedded at the MIT Media Lab working with the Scratch team and has contributed BLE hardware integrations to the Scratch VM. Kevin hires and coaches interdisciplinary teams, builds maker workshops, and turns academic research into hands-on product experiences. He combines systems-level thinking about human-object relationships with low-level technical fluency in microcontrollers and Bluetooth protocols. This mix of design sensibility, engineering chops, and open-source collaboration makes him adept at turning speculative ideas into working, delightful tools.
