Hi, I'm Kira Sun

Senior UX / Product Designer · Renton, Washington, US

I'm an illustrator and UX/UI designer with 10+ years of experience shaping complex products into clear, human-centered experiences. I currently lead design for enterprise tools at Amazon, spanning risk management, finance, governance, and goal-setting platforms used by hundreds of thousands of people.

My work lives where structure meets imagination — I love untangling messy problems, and I bring an illustrator's eye to everything I make. If you'd like to collaborate or just chat, reach out.
