About Me

Hello, my name is Simon Kwok. I'm a Canadian born User Experience Designer with multi-national experience working in both client-side and agency environments for small to mid-sized companies. My experience is diverse and includes industries such as environmental, transit, news, fashion, and financial services. Currently I live in NYC.

My Design Perspective

I believe good design enriches the experiences of individuals and is a result of thoughtful consideration of people, space and time. I practice and advocate for design that is data driven and iterates in rapid cycles of ideating, prototyping, building, and monitoring to create and refine both new and existing products.
