👋 Hello! I’m a bilingual UX/UI designer fluent in Japanese and English, dedicated to creating user-centered digital experiences that are both meaningful and enjoyable. My work focuses on translating complex problems into simple, intuitive solutions that balance usability, visual clarity, and brand expression.

With a foundation in branding, graphic, and web design, I bring a holistic perspective to UX/UI—connecting design systems, visual identity, and interaction design to build consistent, scalable products. In my current role within the corporate environment, I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to design thoughtful, data-informed experiences that meet both user needs and business goals.

Earlier in my career, I worked as a graphic designer across agencies, start-ups, non-profits, and freelance projects. Those experiences strengthened my adaptability, creative problem-solving, and sensitivity to brand storytelling—skills that continue to influence my UX/UI practice today.

I’m inspired by modern minimalism, drawing influence from Swiss Design and International Typographic Style. I also enjoy creating geometric vector illustrations in my spare time, inspired by Charley Harper, which often informs my clean and structured approach to interface design.

Outside of design, I love cooking Japanese dishes and exploring new places through documentary and street photography—always with a camera close by.
