Ken Stevens, Trustee and Livable Streets Committee Co-Chair
A longtime college professor at both Chicago’s Institute of Design and Parsons in NY, Ken Stevens developed an interdisciplinary undergraduate curriculum and taught courses in design management and product design. He founded his own design office to explore a diverse range of products with patents on folding furniture, equipment, toys, restaurant chafers and diaper changers. He continues to apply his inventing skills designing display holders for everything from tools to wine. Ken was deeply involved with kids’ sporting activities: He founded the St. Francis soccer league and coached the SFX youth baseball program.
When he is not helping grandchildren on science fair projects or solving equipment problems for the Park Slope Food Co-op, he still finds work to do on the brownstone he’s owned for 43 years. He is grateful for our vital community and the endless blessings of Prospect Park.
