Honolulu, Hawaii based Product Designer with 3 years of experience crafting digital products for Japan.
I studied Graphic Communication with a User Experience/User Interface concentration at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. Post-graduation, curiosity led me to Japan—despite growing up in a Japanese household, I'd never lived there. After three years working for Japanese companies, I moved to Honolulu, Hawaii to explore new opportunities.
My experience spans both Western and Eastern design approaches, with strengths in attention to detail (honed by Japanese work culture), rapid learning, and cross-functional collaboration. I believe in shipping fast and iterating based on data and user research—a trial-and-error approach that leads to better solutions.
When I'm not designing, you'll find me training Muay Thai or catching waves.
