Kengo Ikeda-Iyeki
Product Designer
Over 10+ years building webapps and interfaces for editorial, creative platforms, and cultural institutions. I bring a systemic approach to product design grounded in a balance between implementation realities, aesthetics, and usability. Seeking a product design role where design and execution are equally valued.
Projects
Identified an opportunity in Bandcamp's social infrastructure and its usefulness for discovery. Explored and rejected alternatives before landing on In Rotation — a curated shelf that travels with your profile.
Conducted an independent design audit and architectural migration of MoMA's legacy, in-house CSS library into an explicit, repeatable theme configuration. Excavated and formalized undocumented institutional design logic governing typography metrics, context-aware icons, and interactive behavior states.
