Kyle Outlaw is a designer, entrepreneur, and investor. An early adopter of blockchain technologies, he founded Subatomik, a.k.a. “your favorite Bitcoin bookstore”. Subatomik LLC pursues three core strategies: (1) cater to the needs of our growing audience of geek life enthusiasts while building a next gen e-commerce company on the Bitcoin Standard, (2) ensure that analogue books persist in an age of surveillance capitalism and digital rights management (DRM), and (3) promote education and understanding of Decentralized Finance, Cryptography, and the Bitcoin Standard.
Prior to launching Subatomik, Kyle was SVP Executive Experience Director at Publicis Groupe, where he was responsible for user experience design and research for the Mercedes-Benz account in the United States and Canada. During this time he lead the redesign of the US and Canada passenger car websites, as well as new designs for Sprinter Vans and Freightliner, Mercedes-Benz Financial Services, smart car, and in-dealership experiences. As a result of the website redesign, Mercedes-Benz was awarded a number one ranking from JD Power’s U.S. Manufacturer Website Evaluation Study.
Before focusing full time on the Mercedes account, he was VP Creative Group Director at Razorfish where he lead the UX practice for the New York office. During this time he pitched, won and launched innovative ecommerce experiences for Motorola and UNIQLO. Prior to that, Kyle was an interaction design director at R/GA where he worked on the Nike and and Converse accounts.
