About

Kasra Hadizadeh

Fullstack DesignerAthens, Greece

Have you ever tried writing about yourself and found it absolutely weird? Yeah. I'm there right now.

Designing professionally since 2019.

I beatbox while I think. Not on purpose, and not well. Boots n cats n boots n cats, quietly, until whatever I'm stuck on comes loose. People I've shared an office with have opinions about this.

Sometimes I get a taste for something before I can explain it. I know the thing is wrong, I know roughly where it should go, and I can't give you directions. Closing that gap is most of the job.

Mostly I'm obsessed with building cool shit. Automating something that used to take a day makes me feel like a god for about an hour. Designing a system that actually holds up is the best burger I've ever had.

I don't know what you came down here for. If it's the work, it's on the other page. If it's my Spotify playlist, forget it. That shit is embarrassing.
