Kivo

Design co-founder: brand, product, and a ~5,000-signup campaign

Before coming onboard as design cofounder, Kivo was a simple way to send payments. I decided to take a social twist on the platform and design the experience around friend groups. The idea behind Kivo was to experiment with onchain buying and chatting with friends. I designed the full visual brand and UX/UI — logo, type, color, and product — and led the KYN NFT referral campaign, which generated roughly 5,000 signups prelaunch.
