Kirill Negoda is a Kazakhstan-born, Minnesota-raised, California-based visual designer specializing in cartography and wayfinding. I care deeply about clarity—about turning complex systems into maps and experiences that feel intuitive, welcoming, and even a little delightful.
Growing up in Central Asia sparked a lasting curiosity about the wider world and how people find their place within it. That curiosity led me to cartography and transit design, where I get to create tools that help people navigate unfamiliar places with confidence. I believe good design lives at the intersection of purpose, personality, and aesthetics. Outside of work, I explore that same curiosity through hiking, biking, and traveling—always paying attention to how environments shape the way we move, orient, and connect.
