Hi, I am Akira Uriel.
I design brands and interfaces that people actually remember. Currently interning at Boutik Studio. If your brand looks like everyone else's or your interface is quietly losing you customers. That is what I fix.
my thoughts on designMost design problems are not really design problems.
//filter out the forgettable ones
constmemorable = brands.filter(
b => b.forgetsYou ===false)
//that is the part I handle
const approach = {
clarity: true,
noise: false,
memorable: true
}
//simple enough to remember, loud enough to matter
Here are my 3 favorite projects and the ones I think are really worth displaying since everything else was for school and it is honestly kind of unfinished. I worked on an indie game studio with my friend Jana called Miau Studios - this is honestly one of my favorites, had a lot of fun doing it. There is Vibe, a creative agency that I thought would be cool to create. It is not an actual agency, it is just a branding project. And NONNA & CO, which is a logo / branding concept I made as practice.
Brand identity, UI/UX and design audits — I tell you what is wrong and why, not just what looks unaesthetic.
a quick noteReally want to join ESAD. Pray for me.

Outside of design I shoot film. Street photography mostly — walking around with a camera and no plan, waiting for a moment that makes you stop. There is something about committing to a shot on film that actually makes you look at what is in front of you instead of just spraying and hoping. It has made me better at noticing things which turns out to be most of what design is anyway. I also play tennis competitively — it has nothing to do with design except both require you to read a situation faster than you are comfortable with.
If you wanna make something people actually remember — get in touch. Email works or you can find me on LinkedIn.
