My inspirations and interests

I’m a Product Designer with a strong focus on systems thinking, collaboration, and delivering meaningful improvements through design. I work best where complexity exists — helping teams uncover insights, align across disciplines, and design solutions that serve both users and the business.


Over the past few years, I’ve worked closely with engineering, customer service, and marketing teams to understand full product ecosystems, advocate for user needs, and shape features that drive long-term value. I’m most interested in roles where design plays a strategic role — not just shaping interfaces, but shaping decisions.


What's next?

Alongside my career, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for Japanese culture, history, and creative thinking. What started as a personal interest gradually evolved into a genuine desire to work an live in Japan. Relocating now feels like a natural progression — a way to bring together years of professional growth and cultural curiosity into one meaningful next step.

Looking back

Before fully transitioning into digital product design, I spent nearly a decade exploring the visual side of design — from editorial and branding to motion graphics and digital art.

This previous portfolio is a curated selection of that work: projects where I honed my visual craft, gave shape to ideas, and used design as a way to explore and reflect on topics like AI-driven creation, politics, economics, and digital privacy.
