About
I love design because it's a creative process that solves real and practical needs that can make a definite impact in this world. I believe design applies the arts together with science and technology to create great experiences for the end user.
I grew up in Japan, and am fluent in Japanese and English.
Living in the beautiful state of Colorado, I love exploring the outdoors. I also spend much of my available time studying history, culture and anthropology, and the arts.
I find joy in meeting new people; if you're in Colorado or would like to get in touch, please drop me a line whenever. -
