Hi there ๐
I'm Ayaka Kojima, a freelance Front-End Developer & UI Designer with 9+ years of experience.
No more juggling between a designer and a developer. From brand identity and logo design, to UI, to fully coded front-end. One person, one process, no gaps ๐
If you're launching something new, I can own the whole thing from day one. If you're a small team looking for ongoing support, I understand both design and development, so I pick up context fast, keep communication light.
Do you have a question or idea?
No idea is too early. I'm happy to think it through with you from wherever you are.
Feel free to text me "Hi" ๐ฌ

Hello, Iโm Jen:)
I am a freelance graphic designer living in Vancouver, Canada. I have had an interest in art and design from a very young age and have been drawing, painting, and creating since I can remember. This passion led me to pursue a career in graphic design over a decade ago and I havenโt looked back. I love what I do every day.
In addition to my love for design, I am also passionate about people and relationships and hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology. Having knowledge about the human psyche makes me a better designer as I have insight into what makes people act and feel the way they do in different situations. This allows me to design for diverse audiences.
Looking for a compelling new logo, minimalist brochure or data-driven report? Iโm your person. Get in touch with me today for a free quote. Looking forward to your creating something beautiful for you!
