Testimonials

"What impressed me most was her ability to turn complicated requirements into intuitive, elegant interfaces that genuinely solve user problems. She never viewed a feature as just a screen or flow — she deeply understood the underlying logic, motivations, and pain points, and designed with empathy and precision.

Wakana is a rare designer who combines analytical thinking, creativity, and genuine warmth at an exceptional level. In any organization tackling complex systems that require both design sensitivity and domain understanding, she will undoubtedly be an invaluable member of the team."
