What I do
Kevin Canlas is a Toronto-based product designer and design engineer. He works across product, brand, motion, and frontend, turning ambiguous goals into coherent, shipped experiences. The practice moves between canvas and code: framing the problem, shaping the interface, and helping bring the result into production.

Earlier practice
At Prolific Digital, a full-service web and brand design agency, Kevin worked as a UI designer and frontend developer across dozens of client projects. He designed and prototyped websites in Figma, then built them from scratch with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Next.js, PHP, Laravel/Blade, and WordPress.
Selected work
Current work includes Monad.xyz, BuildAnything, and Monad’s evm/accathon. BuildAnything helps developers move from vibe-coded prototypes to production-ready apps through guided learning tracks covering security, authentication, payments, and other production fundamentals. For evm/accathon, Kevin executed the project end to end across design, branding, motion, and development.
Earlier case studies include Isekai Meta, Solarians, and Franky’s Dinner. Isekai Meta was a hand-drawn, story-driven Ethereum NFT collection for which Kevin worked across the website and minting experience. Solarians was a Solana project where he redesigned the website and built new product features. Franky’s Dinner was a small NFT project whose landing page and minting experience he designed and developed.
