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 goes way back to 1999, when I first fell in love with photography—a passion that still fuels my creative process today. That same year, I launched the “Hollow Mirror Project,” marking the beginning of a journey filled with designing, developing, and collaborating on a variety of projects. (Feel free to explore my portfolio for more examples of my work.)

I love what I do and pride myself on being approachable and collaborative. I work closely with each client to craft tailor-made design and development solutions that are a perfect fit for their needs. To me, great design isn’t just about visual appeal—it’s a thoughtful fusion of form and function with a clear purpose (and yes, it’s always a bonus when it looks fantastic too).

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.
