About

I’m a results-driven designer who has been immersed the field for over a decade. With experience in a wide range of design disciplines, I specialize in UI, UX and product optimization.
Design with passion. Design for effect.
Identifying problems, opportunities, and finding effective solutions is one of my favourite aspects of design. I had the chance to put into practice the various disciplines of field while I was employed for five years as a UX/UI generalist at MindGeek. It was a challenging, formative and invaluable experience that thought me a lot of what I know today.
Over the years I’ve had the pleasure of working with many different companies and clients, including:
What does “kihin” mean?
I strive for clean, functional design that elevates the user’s experience and successfully meets the project’s business goals. Even though “kihin” is a domain name I picked somewhat hastily while I was still in college, I found it to be a good fit and I stuck with it.
気品 – kihin – is a Japanese word for refinement, elegance, dignity.
Individually, the two kanji that make it stand for:
気 – spirit; mind; air; atmosphere; mood
品 – refinement; dignity
I also like that “kihin” is an almost homonym of “kihon” – meaning “basics” or “fundamentals” – the building blocks we should always remember in both design and in life.
