Akari is the independent product and UX design practice of Aaron Kwong — shaping clear, warm, human software for founders and teams, from first sketch to shipped.
Akari means light — a reminder of what good design does: it makes things easier to see, simpler to use, and quietly better to live with.
I'm Aaron — a product and UX designer based in Vancouver. For 7 years I've worked end to end: research, interaction, interface, and the small details that decide whether software feels considered.
Previously Product Designer at Trulioo, with work spanning identity, health tech, marketplaces, and education tech. Akari is the home for the work I take on independently — small, founder-led, in the room from sketch to ship.
