My story..

Hi! I am Kazi, a UI/UX Designer with a background in Environmental Science and sustainability. Based in Helsinki, I'm available for local and international projects and willing to relocate. Having learned early on the value of sustainable design, I apply my natural empathy and awareness of others to create user-centric solutions to design challenges. I also possess solid research skills, and a goal-oriented working style. I like to start any project with thorough research, once I have that in check, I begin jotting down ideas to design and test with users.

My Values ☕️

Respect

I welcome people from all walks of life with an open mind and heart. 👍

Honesty

I admire open and honest people that can give feedback in a professional and constructive way. 🙌

Good humor

Life isn’t always about fun and games… but sometimes it is! 🥳

What people say about me…

With Kazi’s input, my UX & CRO Audits are even more rounded and thorough, and my clients are always delighted with the end product. I also count on Kazi to support me on extra tasks that I don’t have time for, such as mockups, designs, and uncovering and storing research insights into a purpose-built research hub in AirTable.

Kazi did a usability analysis of our landing page and platform some time ago, and his insights were valuable to us. Kazi is very well rounded when it comes to usability and layout, and his coding skills help him think about the design from a developer’s perspective as well.

Apart from his design work, Kazi is also active in different communities. In 2019 we had invited him to speak in a panel discussion we had organized with designers and employers on the topic of designers' employability in Helsinki.

CEO and Founder

I have had the pleasure of working closely with Kazi as he became a UX/UI Designer and Developer. Kazi fully commits to delivering high quality work and ensures that feedback is taken into consideration. He never stops learning and is constantly adding new tools to his skill set. Not only is he a thoughtful and talented designer, but a pleasure to work with.
