About
I was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan. My multicultural background enables me to operate uniquely at the intersection of taste, vision, and execution.
I'm in the very early days of running Glenwood, my own creative studio.
Previously I was Head of Design at Applied Intuition, a Silicon Valley startup in the autonomous vehicle space. During this time I built and managed a diverse and effective design team that helped grow the company into a multi-billion dollar business.
Work Experience
Glenwood is the creative studio from Justin Barber that forms stories, strategy, and software for today and tomorrow.
