Overview

Gage Minamoto, a UX designer based in Honolulu, Hawai‘i, and I am passionate about crafting intuitive and impactful digital experiences. My journey has led me to work alongside organizations like the Overwatch League and Gen.G Esports, where I specialize in designing for diverse audiences. My background in integrated marketing, competitive gaming, and product design informs my approach to creating user-centered solutions.

Guided by the Japanese principle of hōdō (程), or “just enough design,” I explore all possibilities but focus on delivering what truly matters to users. Growing up in Hawai‘i’s multicultural community has shaped my curiosity and commitment to designing for people from all walks of life. I draw inspiration from the diverse perspectives and the aloha spirit that surrounds me.

Outside of design, I stay active through rock climbing, hone my creativity with film photography, and deepen my cultural understanding by learning Japanese.
