3 Facts About Me
Diverse Designer
- I am third generation Japanese and my great grandparents immigrated to the U.S.A. in the 1930’s from Wakayama and Shizuoka, Japan.
Living Sustainably
- I am an advocate for environmental impact and the future of our planet.
I live off a fully plant based diet and try to live my life sustainably.
Art Is Life
- Aside from product design, I am a classically trained fine artist and love painting, drawing, and art history. I often visit and support art exhibits at least once every few months.
Why UX Design?
Ever since I was 5 years old I have vivid memories of loving coloring books. I was always a creative and continued to be an digital / visual artist all the way through college.
While working at ArcLight Cinemas as an associate project / product manager I had the opportunity to manage our product's UX/UI redesign. I instantly was drawn to the innovative design assets our agency was creating. In June 2020 our entire company was laid off due to Covid-19, thats when I knew it was time to dive in head first into what I actually was passionate about, DESIGN.
My design philosophy is broken down by three key points of inspiration; storytelling, color theory, and origami.
