I Am KIKO

I design intuitive, human-centered products by combining over a decade of storytelling experience with research-driven UX strategy.  I was born and raised in Southwest Detroit where I developed a love for the arts early on in life after getting to experience my first concert. Unbeknownst to me, this experience would transform me into a life-long artist and lover of all things creative. In my early work I have taken on roles such as Freelance Audio Engineer, Photographer/ Videographer, Logo Designer, and Web designer, each contributing to my all around growth and development as a designer. 

My journey into the world of Human-Centered Design would eventually lead me to enrolling at Michigan State University where I earned a degree in Experience architecture. A cross-disciplinary UX, UXR, UI and IA degree that focuses on using research and data to create and improve upon systems and products with the user at the heart of the work. It was here where my design thinking skills would be refined and I would become familiarized and trained in modern design practices
