About

My name is Yu Hiraoka.

I'm a product designer of a start-up retrogaming brand in Milan, DESIGN OF THINGS founded by Claudio Braccini and Giuseppe Circhetta.

In 2017, we created a retro video game console project, Hitbit.

We recently launched it on Kickstarter to realize the mass production of the product.
