Hi there

TL;DR — I'm a multi-disciplinary designer specializing in UX, IA, visual design, and design systems. I believe in the power of research, clear and consistent branding, and beautiful design. It's nice to meet you.

I currently design web experiences at Betterment, helping people of all levels of financial literacy get started investing for their future.

Before that, I designed at hOp, an Austin-based startup offering community-as-a-service to apartments. My work started with a complete redesign of hOp's mobile apps in only 3 months and grew to include hOp's first mobile and desktop design systems.

And before that, I was at thirteen23, an award-winning design and software agency. My client work included designing in-car audio experiences for Bose and mobile investing tools for Visa.

In my past life, I spent 6 years in marketing and communications, including managing Boston Children's Hospital's largest internal communications channel, which reached an audience of more than 16,000. These days, I keep those skills sharp by writing and editing UX copy, interview guides, marketing collateral, and more.

Let's chat

I'd love to hear from you about projects you're working on; horror movies you'd like to recommend; or your favorite tiktoks. You can send me electronic mail at: kkapiga@gmail.com

"Kipaya is an amazingly talented UX designer. As his lead & later his manager, he consistently showed an ability to solve complex problems with beautiful and elegant designs. He is hands down the strongest designer I've ever met when it comes to proficiency with design tools."
