Kinetiq
Full identity for a motion studio — logo system, typography, and a living brand kit that animates across every touchpoint.
Profile
Design with intent.
Design with intent.
Code with care.
I'm a multidisciplinary creator who sits comfortably between design and engineering — sketching in Figma in the morning and shipping responsive interfaces by night.
For the past eight years I've partnered with startups, studios and mission-driven teams across fintech, wellness, culture and retail. My sweet spot is the whole journey: naming and visual identity, product UX, then building the front-end that makes it feel alive — with motion that guides rather than distracts.
I care about typography that has a voice, interfaces that respect attention, and websites that load fast and degrade gracefully. Every project gets the same standard: thoughtful, tested, hand-finished.

Kind words
What collaborators say
Ziyen took our vague idea and gave it a voice we didn't know it had. The identity still turns heads two years later — and the site converts beautifully.
Maya ChenFounder, Northlight Studio
Rare mix of taste and execution. Ziyen redesigned our entire product experience and then built the front-end to match — pixel for pixel, every breakpoint.
Daniel ReyesCPO, Fieldnote
Our report was read by thousands more people after Ziyen made the data interactive. Suddenly charts told stories instead of just sitting there.
Amara OkaforDirector, Meridian Project
