UX Guys Inc.
Paul Nishikawa
Chief Executive Officer
In online design and development since 1994, Paul has worked on everything from e-zines to e-commerce, and done just about every job in the business.
Outside the office, Paul spends time with his family and plays hockey — a passion that became a profession with his first full web site build, for Hockey Canada in 1995.
After starting out in print, Paul moved on to one of Ottawa’s leading marketing agencies in the mid-nineties, spearheading their efforts on the web, doing everything from account management to back-end coding for a wide range of clients.
In 1998 Paul moved to Calgary and joined Hockey Canada to manage its web site and print publications, eventually assuming responsibility for all IT operations. He caught the dot-com wave in 2000 and moved to Nevada Bob’s e-commerce team.
In subsequent years Paul worked on his own then in 2004 joined Critical Mass as a visual designer and information architect for clients like Dell, AT&T Wireless and Albertson’s.
After working as an art director and creative director for smaller agencies, Paul joined online payment provider Neteller in 2005, first as interaction designer, then moving to product management, where he guided the development of simple and effective solutions for complex internal applications.
As CEO and co-founder at UX Guys, Paul has been "on the ground" for many of our clients but now spends most of his time managing our team of exceptional user experience practitioners and providing strategic guidance for our clients. He says that sometimes he misses practicing day-to-day on research and design, but only sometimes.
