About

I’m an industrial designer with 2 years of consultancy experience. I’ve been fully immersed in the industrial design process and have thrived in multidisciplinary teams. I’ve designed for industry leaders and startups. My projects include consumer electronics, soft goods, hard goods, merchandise display, and furniture design.

Design Philosophy
Working with overseas designers, particularly Japanese designers, has been formative in my development. Especially at times when I was both a translator and designer on projects with Japanese clients. From experiences like that and from growing up in Japan, I’m able to uniquely blend cultures in product development.
I embrace the Western “Yes-and” mindset—building on potential—while balancing it with the Japanese “Yes-but” approach, which prioritizes practicality, foresees potential inconveniences, and finds solutions early in the design process.
By combining deep technical skills with cultural design exposure, I create solutions that are both innovative and intuitive.
