I'm Kai Nakamura — a designer-developer hybrid crafting interfaces that blend futuristic aesthetics with razor-sharp engineering. 8+ years of turning bold visions into living, breathing pixel-perfect realities.
Based in Berlin, I've spent 8+ years in the trenches of interactive design and development. My focus: creating interfaces that are equal parts functional and fantastical. I specialize in WebGL, 3D rendering, and motion design, with a background in UX architecture from Humboldt University.
I've led digital product teams at agencies and startups, shipping 40+ successful projects for clients across Europe, the US, and Japan — from crypto exchanges and futuristic fashion houses to experimental music platforms and immersive art installations.
