Portrait of Nikko Nishikawa

Digital designer in Rotterdam focused on UX and web design. I like building things, not just designing them, using AI tools to take ideas from Figma to working products. I've designed an e-commerce site for an artist duo, made visuals for a music event collective, and started building KnightRiders, a tool that helps DJs sort out riders and invoices. Open to full-time roles and freelance projects.
