NYC UI/UX + AI Product Designer

Product design told in motion, systems, and usable detail.

Hideki Aono designs complex digital products, fintech interfaces, enterprise workflows, AI-enabled tools, and visual systems with the craft of a visual designer and the structure of a product thinker.

01 Challenge

Find the signal inside messy product systems.

I start by separating business pressure, user friction, workflow complexity, and interface noise so the design problem becomes clear enough to move.

02 Discover

Turn research into decisions teams can use.

Discovery is translated into flows, jobs, behavioral patterns, service moments, and practical UI requirements that can survive real product constraints.

03 Define

Shape the product architecture before polishing pixels.

I define hierarchy, interaction models, states, data density, and design-system fit so the final surface has a strong underlying logic.

04 Develop

Prototype with enough fidelity to reveal the truth.

From dashboard flows to AI-assisted interactions, prototypes make tradeoffs visible and give stakeholders something specific to react to.

05 Deliver

Design for engineering handoff and product momentum.

Delivery includes responsive UI, component behavior, content structure, states, documentation, and a visual system that supports the next release.

06 Outcome

Make complex products feel understandable.

The goal is not decoration. It is clarity, confidence, and a digital experience that helps people make better decisions faster.

Selected Work

Case studies built for clarity, craft, and decision-making.

The work spans fintech UX, enterprise service design, responsive product UI, dashboard systems, mobile product concepts, and AI-enabled workflows.

Process

A senior design process for complex product environments.

FrameClarify the business, user, system, and data problem.
MapTurn workflows and service moments into product architecture.
PrototypeMake interactions, states, and edge cases visible early.
SystemizeAlign UI craft with reusable components and delivery constraints.

AI + Product Design

AI work is strongest when the interface makes judgment visible.

I design AI-enabled workflows around user intent, model uncertainty, review moments, data context, and clear human control. The interface should explain what is happening without slowing people down.
