Kaylie Tucker
Konvergent Solutions
Owner | Software Consultant | Designer
I have 23+ years’ experience in the Commercial Furniture Industry. It all started when I was working as a dealer designer for a Steelcase Dealer in Reno, Nevada. It was here I started using Configura/CET to plan Spacesaver filing systems. In 2008 I moved to Seattle, Washington where I joined the Beta team for the Steelcase CET extension, Smart Tools. This is when I fell in love with the software. I continued to use CET Designer during the next 5 years, while being the Lead Designer for Starbucks Coffee Company. In 2014 I took a position with HNI, as the Design Manager for the Amazon team. While here, I joined the Allsteel Technology Team to help develop and launch their CET extension. During the extension creation, I helped drive development requirements, conducted testing, trained designers, created marketing material, handled license administration, and created an entirely new tagging standard for their furniture portfolio. In addition, I was the beta team organizer and helped onboard and support new designers. I have a deep passion for rendering and enjoy pushing the boundaries of CET's capabilities in this realm. I have recently started using TwinMotion, where I consistently give myself challenges to increase my abilities and hone my skills. In 2018 I started Konvergent Solutions with a mission to help ease the frustrations of designers transitioning to this software. Today, I conduct training, create templates, and do a myriad of other consultative tasks, all geared towards giving back more time to designers. I believe when designers understand their software better it can help them lead happier, healthier lives. I want to help them discover the joy in producing output. Happy designers create amazing designs.
