Hey, I’m Ako.

Pronounced (/ā-kow)

My passion for design stems from my life experiences—shaped by my cultural upbringing and personal growth. I've always been drawn to all forms of design, from polished UI to intricate artwork, but I find the most meaning in turning ideas into functional, compelling experiences.

Now, I focus on building thoughtful systems that enhance the digital world, blending innovation with human behavior to create more intuitive and novel experiences that make life a little bit more enjoyable.
