About me

A bit about me - where I’ve been, what I do, and how I work.

My Background

Originally from Tokyo, now based in San Francisco, I design intuitive mobile experiences. With a background in psychology and over 7 years in product design, I love blending strategy, aesthetics, and human behavior to create products that feel as good as they look. For me, great design happens where emotion meets function - where users don’t just navigate but connect.
