Overview

Gage Minamoto is a UX designer based in Honolulu, Hawai‘i, passionate about crafting intuitive and impactful digital experiences. With experience working alongside organizations like the Overwatch League and Gen.G Esports, he specializes in designing for diverse audiences, combining his background in integrated marketing, competitive gaming, and product design.

Guided by the Japanese principle of hōdō (程), or “just enough design,” Gage explores all possibilities but focuses on delivering what truly matters to users. Growing up in Hawai‘i’s multicultural community has shaped his curiosity and commitment to designing for people from all walks of life, drawing inspiration from the diverse perspectives and aloha spirit around him.

Outside of design, Gage stays active through rock climbing, hones his creativity with film photography, and deepens his cultural understanding by learning Japanese.

Born and raised in Hawaii, I started my design and photography journey in high school and continued through three years of college. I initially worked in print, illustration, and web design before specializing in digital product development and branding experiences as a freelancer.

With over three years of experience in integrated marketing, automotive, and competitive esports design, I now lead the design for the University of Hawai'i Esports Program. My background includes internships with the Overwatch League and Gen.G Esports, and I aim to establish Hawaii as a top gaming hub.
