I’m a UI/UX Designer with over 10 years of experience, currently pursuing a remote Master’s in UX & Service Design to further strengthen my expertise in crafting seamless, end-to-end digital experiences. I specialize in designing intuitive solutions across mobile, tablet, and desktop platforms, combining deep user empathy, strategic thinking, and agile methodologies to deliver products that are functional, impactful, and aligned with business goals.

I’ve held diverse roles — including UI/UX Designer, Creative Director, and Social Media Marketer — giving me a holistic perspective on every project. I work closely with Product Managers, Engineers, and cross-functional teams, driving initiatives from discovery through release. I conduct both qualitative and quantitative user research, translate insights into actionable requirements, and rapidly prototype solutions. My work includes leading comprehensive UI/UX redesigns for multi-platform applications, building dual-language (English/Japanese) interfaces, and creating dynamic UIs for personalized user engagement.

My design process is rooted in continuous learning and iteration, with a focus on outcome-driven development. I’m experienced in usability testing, refining interfaces based on user feedback, and developing scalable design systems that ensure consistency across products. I’m also practiced in Design Sprints and have led user discovery sessions to uncover opportunities and pain points.

My toolkit includes Figma, Adobe Creative Suite (XD, Illustrator), Miro, Jira, Zenhub, and various AI tools. I’m also familiar with accessibility standards (WCAG), modern frameworks (MUI, React, Flutter), and documentation tools like Supernova. I speak English (native) and Japanese (basic), and I thrive in collaborative, multicultural environments where innovation meets impact.
