Free Spirit born and raised in Hokkaido, Japan.
Currently, lives in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Utilizing the human-centered design approach, I make a difference.

During my Master’s Degree in San Francisco, I studied international affairs. My academic experience combined with a stimulating startup culture led to my engagement with Design Thinking and inspired me to contribute to the world in an unconventional way - through “design.”

At a San Francisco design agency - btrax, I started my career as an innovation facilitator. I have helped corporations implement the human-centered design approach to their businesses by offering design research, service design, and design thinking training programs.

In 2020, I moved to Amsterdam to expand my horizon and explore a design career in social innovation. I met inspiring change makers and discussed design and business for the betterment.

After a year of condensed, invaluable adventure, I came back to the commercial field with a stronger determination. While helping companies to transform their businesses with design, I grow and give back to society. I am passionate about this.

I am also an avid traveler and enjoy freestyle dance in my free time. I love connecting with people and learning who they are:)
