About me…

🇪🇹 መኩሪያ ጌትነት

I’m a UX/UI and Visual Designer with a strong background in leading design and front-end development teams. My expertise lies in creating engaging user experiences for web applications, complex websites, and mobile web apps. I build high-fidelity HTML prototypes and define the visual language that shapes these digital experiences. My approach is informed by a blend of technical precision and creative flair—I studied computer science and attended art school, so I make it a point to engage both sides of my brain in every project.

My passion for design started way back in 1999 when I first fell in love with photography. That love still fuels my creative process today. That same year I launched the 'Hollow Mirror Project' which kicked off my journey designing developing and collaborating on all sorts of projects. You can check out my portfolio for more of my work.

I truly enjoy what I do. I am approachable and collaborative working closely with every client to create tailor made design and development solutions that perfectly fit their needs. To me great design is not just about looking good it is a thoughtful fusion of form and function with a clear purpose. Of course it is always a bonus when the result is fantastic.

Based in Oakland and operating as a one-person outfit. I believe exceptional talent isn’t confined to large agencies; by keeping my operation lean, I can work efficiently and pass on the benefits to my clients—many of whom have been with me from the start.
