Coming from a graphic design background, I strive to create beautiful, functional and user-centered design solutions. Having grown up between the UK and Japan, I am currently stationed in little Tokyo of Germany; Düsseldorf, my happy medium. I am curious about new cultures and enjoy being shown new perspectives and ways of life.
Having worked very closely with a UX designer at my previous job as a communication designer, I was naturally very intrigued by UX design. I took my first UX design role at a start-up in 2020 where I was able to see the conception of a web application through from user research, to prototyping, testing and iterating. I’ve basically been hooked ever since.
I am fascinated by the many disciplines that fall under the umbrella of User Experience Design. It’s an ever-evolving field characterised by exciting new developments and new methods to experiment with. Being a highly empathetic problem-solver, I found that UX design aligned surprisingly well with not only my existing design skills, but my personality and approach to problem-solving.
