Kivo

Brand identity & product design for a social payments app

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 5,000 signups prelaunch.
