Originally & proudly from Japan, I'm a UX Designer currently based in Los Angeles. I feel passionate about solving problems and designing solutions that leave an impact on people's lives. I'm also a lifelong learner who actively seeks out and absorbs new information. Curiosity? That’s my middle name.I'm all about creating amazing user experiences with a touch of simplicity and fun. I believe in truly understanding user needs, stripping away complexity, and crafting unique, user-friendly products.Throughout my UX journey, I've mastered understanding user needs, designing intuitive interfaces, and creating interactive prototypes. I prioritize adaptability, accessibility, and ethical design. I draw inspiration from personal experiences and diverse interests. My best design ideas often pop up when I'm immersed in things I love.Starting my design journey in 2018, I've come a long way from a non-design background. I'm here to help others turn their ideas into reality through thoughtful design.Beyond design, you'll find me cooking in my kitchen for people I love, exploring new places, and reading books for new knowledge and inspiration.My future goals include expanding my skills, building a compelling portfolio, and staying up-to-date with industry trends. I'm eager to give back by teaching and mentoring, pursuing entrepreneurship in the future, gaining international experience, and mastering work-life balance.
