About Me

My name is Rikuo (pronounced "ree-koo" or "ree-koo-oh") and I am an emerging Web UX/UI Designer and Front-End Developer based in Edmonton, Alberta. I am passionate about designing and developing collaborative web projects that are meaningful and that resonate with others. I come from an audio engineer/music producing background so I think about balance and elements that work together, whether it's in a song or for web user experience. I am always learning new things and enjoy meeting new people!

I have recently finished my last semester in NAIT's Digital Media & IT program, focusing on Web Design and Development. I have also received a diploma in Advanced Audio Engineering and Music Production, graduating back in 2021.

Other than working on web projects, you can find me recording/producing some music and hanging out with my cats Suki and Nami. I am always on the hunt to listen to new music (currently some Oasis and new WHATMORE album), and if you have any music suggestions or just want to talk about web design, shoot me a message!
