About
I'm a San Francisco-based Japanese Designer, with a focus on visual product design and branding. My experience spans over the past 10 years working across web, mobile, and browser extensions.
I’m also a published book author. My book, “How Might We Learn English as a Designer? (デザイナーの英語帳)”, was published in 2020 and helps Japanese designers learn English. It was also translated and published in Korea and is read by English speakers who want to learn Japanese as well.
Projects

I designed a browser extension and visual for the entire product, including a web application. I also contributed to building the brand identity.
Sora Union is your globally distributed creative partner and works for rapidly growing and category-defining customers in many industries.
I contributed to their brand identity design. I developed a 24-hour color system for the brand palette and built initial design guidelines.
