Outside Work

Hello there πŸ‘‹

Monochrome and sunlit.

Team culture I love:
Fast-paced. Collaborative. Open to ideas. Growth-driven. Tight-knit.
Products that excite me:
Cutting-edge tech like crypto, democratizing creativity and learning, financial intelligence, smoother interactions, and AI tools etc. More broadly, I’m drawn to products that challenge the status quo and empower people in new ways.
In product design, I find myself constantly learning:
Product thinking. Interaction design. Exploring tools that make creating interactions easier.
Thoughts on systems/processes:
Not succumbing to the norm if it’s not serving. Creating systems that make collaboration easy and simple.
Fun fact about me:
I was an architect in my previous life and worked at KKAA in Tokyo, and other studios designing museums, residences, offices, restaurants, installations, and furniture before pivoting to product design.
A year at The New York Times:
Designed tap stories for the NYT homepage that receives 5M+ readers, a 0β†’1 information module to reinforce user trust, and a design system for the articles team.
Current role at ISN:
Designed and shipped multiple 0β†’1 projects as the sole product designer in close collaboration with PMs and engineers. Created processes that streamlined collaboration and upskilled the team through thought leadership.

Let's connect.

For work or a ramble on anything design, technology and people.
