Top SchoolStephen Kennedy is a Senior Map Designer with 12 years of experience blending cartography, interaction design, and urban planning to create actionable geospatial products. He currently leads Map Design at Mapbox and has a track record of shipping mapping and planning tools from early-stage research to production, including work that supported urban planners and mobility platforms.

His background spans government, academia, and startups—CFPB, MIT, Sidewalk Labs/Coord, and UrbanFootprint—giving him a rare mix of policy-aware UX and technical mapcraft. He’s comfortable at the intersection of design, data, and civic impact, turning complex spatial datasets into clear, usable experiences. Based in Madison, WI, he combines hands-on design leadership with entrepreneurial instincts.
