I care about how things work,
not just how they look.
About me
Hi! I’m Sol Kikuchi (31), a Senior Product Designer from Buenos Aires, now based in Düsseldorf
I work on UX systems, AI-powered flows, and the space between design, product, and engineering.
Over the past 7 years, I’ve shaped flows, scaled systems, and improved delivery inside cross-functional teams. I also mentor junior designers, support product alignment through early ideation, and contribute to team rituals that help good work move forward.
When I’m not designing, I’m with my cat, spending time with people I love, rearranging life, or browsing places to go next.
How I Work
Good design starts with clarity.
The rest is structure, process, and follow-through.
01
Start with the problem
I ask questions, understand the product context, and work with the PM to define what actually needs to be done. Not just what was asked for.
02
Map flows and structure
I sketch flows, identify edge cases, and bring structure before pixels. It gives the team clarity and reduces surprises. I also facilitate ideation sessions when needed to align early and uncover stronger solutions before we commit.
03
Design, test, iterate
I move from low to high fidelity, work in Figma, and refine based on real needs and early feedback from users, cross-functional teams, and lead stakeholders.
04
Prepare for delivery
I organize handoff files, document interaction states, and stay close to dev through implementation.
