Hello, lovely to meet you. 👋
Nagisa Ikeda, Product Designer
I’m a product designer and AI-native design engineer based in San Francisco, focusing on building intelligent, end-to-end B2B2C product experiences.
With a background in architecture and systems thinking, I translate complex problems into clear, functional interfaces—designing and shipping real products across mobile, web, and design systems.
My work sits at the intersection of design, engineering, and AI—turning ideas into intuitive, high-quality interfaces that deliver real impact.

Hi, I'm Nagisa! 👋
I’m a Senior Product Designer and AI-native design engineer based in the SF Bay Area. With a background in architecture and roots in Japan, I approach design as a system—transforming complexity into clear, intuitive experiences.
Over the past decade, I’ve worked across fintech and multi-platform products, and more recently expanded into building products end-to-end using AI. I’m particularly interested in how design and engineering are converging, and how AI enables faster, more exploratory ways of creating.
I enjoy solving complex, data-driven problems and crafting experiences that are both thoughtful and impactful—with a subtle sense of play.
