I have always been drawn to visually pleasing objects and designs. At some point in my life, I realized that I wanted to create them myself. The path I took to become a designer was not exactly a straight one. Before pursuing visual design, I studied literature, worked on a farm for a while, and spent time at a contemporary art studio called Sandwich in Kyoto. After working as a visual designer for some time, I began to feel that I wanted to design not only the visual presentation of products and packaging but also the experience of using them. This realization led me to UI/UX design. As a UX designer, I am passionate about understanding users' needs, motivations, and behaviors to create aesthetically pleasing, functional, impactful, and, most importantly, delightful designs. To me, UX design is like weaving human kindness into a product. As a person, I have been told that I am easygoing and a good listener.

Thank you!
