Call me
Kai
I'm a curious and creative individual who thrives on crafting thoughtful designs that solve problems intuitively. I like to keep the process playful and artistic, while balancing it with technical precision and rational thinking when needed.
Inspired by nature, human interaction, behavior, and philosophy, I bring a unique perspective to each project. My creative energy flows through activities like illustrating, learning guitar, diving into math, and coding. Apart from being a self-professed philomath (always hungry to learn!), I also enjoy playing sports, watching movies, and experimenting in the kitchen when I have the time.
In short: a Jack of many trades, and master of a few.
With a strong foundation in interaction design, I’m always eager to explore how thoughtful, intuitive design can enhance user experiences, while ensuring the process remains fun, flexible, and focused on solving real problems.
