Principal, CEO at Cinco
"I think of AI as an imagination engine—something that helps creators push past the hard parts. I’d love to explore flying vehicles, not for the Jetsons fantasy, but because in dense cities, the third dimension offers real freedom. With AI, we could rethink personal flight to be more personal, more efficient, and more elegant."

Inspired to help craft a new generation of design-driven brands, Kirk formed Cinco in 1998 to help innovators connect big ideas to people who crave them. Since then, he’s been leading a dynamic team of strategic thinkers and designers working to bring 360˚ brand experiences to life, building brands that not only endure but keep breaking through year after year. A designer at heart, he can’t resist a blank sheet of paper.
