PASSION & INTEREST
- Using design that connects the economy
-
I am passionate about the use of design in ways that contributes to the economy. Design is a sensitive tool that possesses tremendous power, but when used incorrectly, its true potential cannot be realized. I am constantly exploring the use of design to bring about essential changes to the economy, organizations, and human emotions.
- Leap before you look
-
I consciously prioritize "trying things out" before thinking too much and settling for a boring and logically sound conclusion. I would rather head towards an exciting future.
- Connections to honey
-
My family runs a mandarin orange farm and beekeeping business, and my grandfather's workshop was my playground during my childhood. Through my involvement in design, I have come to think of myself as having a "cheat code," having grown up in such a unique environment. I am currently attempting to brand my family's business in order to share the bounty of natural honey with the world and create lasting relationships.
BACKGROUND
I am from Yawatahama City, Ehime Prefecture. After graduating from the School of Political Science and Economics at Waseda University, I worked on new business development at SIer and apparel companies. When I fell into the trap of feeling uninspired by logically sound project proposals, I discovered “design thinking” and joined Loftwork/FabCafe as a producer, supporting the launch of the STEAM education project in Tsukuba City and promoting a research institution. My hobby is early morning running.
