Hugo Cárdenas
designer + developer
I design and build high-quality websites for founders and businesses who want every detail to signal the quality of what they do.

Greencode Ventures
Helsinki-based early-stage venture capital firm that backs digital-first and AI-driven startups helping the green transition in Europe. Visual direction and web design by me. Webflow development by Janne Parri.
“Hugo & Janne translated our positioning into a sharp, new photography-led visual direction, and designed and built a website that truly reflects our brand. The result is exactly as we hoped for, and we can maintain the Webflow site ourselves with ease.”
Juulia Korkiavaara
Marketing Communications & IR Manager, Greencode Ventures
Rhetorich AI
A human+AI coaching platform helping lawyers master high-stakes communication. Visual direction and web design partnering with Oratory Studio.
“Hugo has been great to work with on multiple projects. His web design work is strong and he takes real ownership, jumping into the Framer build to polish and fine-tune everything to the final result. Communication and client management have been seamless. Would definitely recommend.”

Founder, Oratory Design Studio
Venuu
Finland's largest venue marketplace for events. Homepage redesign modernizing a 10-year-old interface into a clean, sleek first impression.
“Hugo helped us redesign the main Venuu homepage. The end result was great, and we definitely gained a lot of valuable ideas that we’ll be able to apply elsewhere on the site as well!”

About
my brain exploding
when realizing all
the food I'm about
to try in Osaka 🐙
I'm a designer and engineer with a background in full-stack web development. In recent years, my focus has shifted to design, visuals and frontend, developing my visual eye and creativity.
These days, I'm immersed in design but I love the intersection of design and building the final polished, end-to-end solutions myself. I try to create things that are both useful and beautiful.
When I'm away from the screen, I play jazz (@bluepepperjazz), read comics graphic novels, and nerd out on history.
