I’m a Product and Design Lead with 10+ years of experience delivering end-to-end digital products, currently pursuing a remote Master’s in UX & Service Design to further deepen my expertise in crafting seamless, scalable user experiences. I specialize in translating complex business and user needs into intuitive, high-impact solutions across mobile, tablet, and desktop platforms.

Over the years, I’ve evolved from hands-on UI/UX design into leading product and design strategy, working closely with Product Managers, Engineers, and cross-functional teams to drive initiatives from discovery through to launch and iteration. I bring a strong balance of user empathy and business thinking, ensuring that every design decision contributes to measurable outcomes.

My experience spans multiple roles, including UI/UX Designer, Creative Director, and Social Media Marketer, giving me a well-rounded perspective on product development, growth, and user engagement. I’ve led large-scale redesigns of multi-platform applications, developed dual-language (English/Japanese) interfaces, and designed dynamic, personalized user experiences.

I’m deeply experienced in both qualitative and quantitative research, running user interviews, usability testing, and data-driven analysis to inform design decisions. I translate insights into clear product requirements, rapidly prototype solutions, and iterate based on real user feedback. I’ve also led Design Sprints and facilitated discovery workshops to uncover opportunities and align stakeholders.

A key strength of mine is building and scaling design systems that ensure consistency and efficiency across products. My process is rooted in continuous learning, agile execution, and outcome-driven development.

My toolkit includes Figma, Adobe Creative Suite (XD, Illustrator), Miro, Jira, Zenhub, and a range of AI-assisted design tools. I’m also familiar with accessibility standards (WCAG), modern frameworks (MUI, React, Flutter), and design system documentation tools like Supernova. I’m a native English speaker with basic Japanese proficiency, and I thrive in collaborative, multicultural environments where strategy, design, and impact intersect.
