O.Kaneps

I’m a designer based in Riga, Latvia.

Over the years, I’ve worn many hats to better understand both product and design. We as designers need to know when to zoom out to see the bigger picture and when to dive into the details. It’s about turning complex ideas into simple, beautiful solutions.

We must collaborate with developers, copywriters, marketing, and business teams to achieve a shared goal—addressing business needs and solving user problems.
