Hi, I’m Aiko, a UX/UI Designer based in Seattle!
I’m a Project/Program Manager and UI/UX Designer. In addition to digital design, I have a love of designing physical things, starting with origami and tinker-toys as a child, and growing into designing crochet patterns, garments, home goods, and accessories!
Learning about human behavior and cognitive psychology in college led me towards a desire to understand motivations and decision making. Designing interactions to enhance user’s experiences energizes me and User Experience and User Interface Design allows me to leverage these passions.
