I currently design tools for AWS Sales, advise design efforts for Inkwire, and build fun AI projects in my free time. I've helped 10+ startups and nonprofits in launching their MVP and getting their first 1,000 customers. I have also built over 30 websites as a Webflow Expert.

Hi there! I'm Kish, an artist with a love for making useful things for people.
I completed my undergrad in Creative Computing and Psychology and a UX Bootcamp during my time at Southern Methodist University (c/o 2022). On nights and weekends, I would find non-profits and small businesses to help. I did everything from product design to marketing to full-stack development – I was able to learn very technical skills in research and coding through school, and get hands-on experience shipping products outside of the classroom.
Post-grad, I've been at Amazon Web Services, focusing on internal workflow tools for AWS Sales teams. Additionally, I advise on design and product at Inkwire for an educational AI tool. Much of my work is crafting scalable design patterns that enable the innovative AI capabilities that emerge every day.
I try to lead a structured, simple life. I start each day with basketball, yoga, or lifting. I enjoy walks in nature, drawing and journaling, comedy, and poetry. Vegan restaurants and movie theaters are my happy place. I enjoy city-hopping every few months also to keep exploring and challenging myself; I've lived in Miami, SF, NYC, and Dallas recently.
I love getting to know people and finding ways to be useful. I love simplifying complex ideas and presenting them in a way that's memorable. I love turning problems into opportunities, and the mundane into magic.

I build websites and apps for startups and internet companies. I have the skills of a full-stack developer and the eye of a user experience designer, which enable me to build elegant digital products.
Current role: UX Designer at AWS
Products I've built for startups, large brands, and myself.
How I help companies launch and scale their impact.
For those looking to test an idea, explore growth strategies, analyze and optimize processes, or clarify overall product direction.
For those with an idea or existing product looking to build a web or mobile interface, generate detailed Figma prototypes that can be tested or developed immediately, or unify their brand/product identity.
For those who want to build a website or an MVP application that can be shipped in weeks. Webflow, Bubble, Airtable, Zapier, Typeform, Stripe, Retool, APIs, and more.
For those who want to build a full stack web or mobile application, and need a flexible yet scaleable solution. Get code that works and can be maintained by the studio or handed off to another dev team. Nothing is impossible on this front.
