Who I Am

Hi, I’m Mina Kang.

I’m a Product Designer based in Toronto with over 5 years of experience.


I’ve worked at Kurly, a high-traffic e-commerce platform used by over 8.5 million users, and at Banksalad, a fast-paced fintech startup with over 12 million downloads. In addition, I’ve worked on both large and small projects across other industries.


I started my career as a Brand Designer at Korea and gradually transitioned into Product Design. I’ve been drawn to the challenge of shaping multi-dimensional experiences that guide users through seamless, thoughtful journeys.


I pursue rational beauty.
Every output is shaped through layers of filters such as business perspective, user needs, and the overall experience. I strive to craft products that are born at the intersection of all those essentials.
