Designing the quiet
moments that grow
businesses.
I'm Theo — an independent UI/UX designer pairing Tokyo restraint with a love for product growth. Five years, thirty-something shipped products, one obsession: interfaces that earn their keep.
— Selected work
Six stories,
all about growth.
A small, opinionated showcase. Each project chosen for what it taught me, not the logo on the door.
— About
Pretty isn't the point.
Outcomes are.
I grew up between Kyoto and San Francisco, which probably explains the whole "negative space meets growth dashboards" thing. I design products for founders who care about the number going up and the craft going deep.
Most engagements start as a redesign and end as a quiet rework of how the team thinks about their product. That's the part I'm here for.
— Kind words
What teams say after we
ship the thing.
"Theo doesn't just design — he diagnoses. Our activation jumped 38% in eight weeks."
"The calmest, sharpest designer I've worked with. Ships like a senior PM."
"Half-mystic, half-strategist. We extended the contract three times."
