Frank Tyneski

CSN Senior Advisor on Brand Identity & Design

Frank has been helping CSN’s mission for more than a decade. While being one of the most awarded, experienced, and talented designers in the world, Frank has worked on projects for CSN tirelessly while never asking anything except “how can I help?”  He offers CSN enthusiasm, optimism, visual story-telling, and emotional intelligence combined with a forward-thinking, ‘flat’ organizational leadership style. Frank even led a design team to modernize and transform CSN’s 30-year-old logo into the fun, youthful brand identity that we now enjoy.

Frank has designed mobile phones, consumer and commercial electronics, medical devices, concept cars, toys, fitness equipment, furniture, and gear. He holds 80+ domestic and foreign design patents in the areas of industrial design, UI/UX, mechanical engineering, and process patents.

Prior to Kids2, Frank worked for LzLabs in Zurich, Switzerland where he reinvented the mainframe computer and ultimately co-created a “software defined mainframe” that fits inside a handheld suitcase. Frank has also worked as Director of Global Consumer Experience & Design at Dell where he was responsible for five (5) brands with quarterly revenues of more than $3B. 

Frank is also the past Executive Director of the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA – non-profit where he led an association of 5,000 members and created a meaningful partnership between the IDSA and the Henry Ford Museum.
