About Njoki Jo Kamau
I live at the intersection where psychology-meets-technology. With a lifelong fascination in neuropsychology, human empathy and creative arts, today I’m immersed in the interplay of UX / UI design to produce compelling, engaging user experiences across a multitude of platforms.Empathic, inclusive design can be the deciding factor in the 17 to 50 milliseconds (less than the blink of an eye) it takes for a user to judge a platform’s accessibility, architecture, and color. When functionality is fused with seamless elegance, you’ll wonder less about the eternal question:Will they stay…or will they go? MY PHILOSOPHY: Insight and awareness are the fuel towards any great design. Always leverage evaluations, research, user tests and heuristics. User needs and business needs should be mutually aligned. Accessible design accommodates diverse user populations. Designs should be intuitive enough for my grandmother to use.MY UX / UI SKILLS:Visual/Interaction Design | Inclusion & Accessibility | User Research | Prototyping | Wireframing | Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, XD, After Effects, InDesign, Animate)| Sketch | FigmaLet’s connect: n••••••••@gmail.com
