He is the founder of the KyleBrush brand of Adobe Photoshop brushes that was acquired on October 18, 2017 by Adobe Systems. He worked for Adobe on drawing initiatives[10][11][12][13] until resigning in mid-2024[14] after publicly criticizing the types of Generative AI being added to Adobe products[15] and just before Adobe announced a change to their Terms of Service that appeared to claim a right to use any work created with their software to train their AI.[16]

His picture book, "Please Say Please!" was published by Scholastic in July, 2016.[17][18]

In the summer of 2017, He partnered with Adobe to digitally recreate seven of the original paintbrushes used by Norwegian artist, Edvard Munch, as part of an international competition inviting artists to use these digital brushes to create "The Fifth Scream."[19][20]

Kyle lives in Winston-Salem, North Carolina with his wife, Sonja Webster, who founded the women's social and professional networking platform, "The Ladies Tea" in 2007, and his 2 children. [21][5]
