My background is in Fine Arts and I enjoy applying my experience and understanding of visual language to the process of design, making full use of the range of media and platforms available today.
Working mainly in the advertising industry, l have had opportunities to work on various brands and projects. I have learned to collaborate with team members to develop effective ways of achieving our objectives, utilizing visual design, choice of media, and the fine tuning of subtle nuances, among other ways of enhancing and clarifying communications.
Where do I want to go from here? I'm fascinated by the idea of instant global connection via technologies, and how it can make our lives so much easier and more efficient. Unimaginable things have become reality over the last few decades. I would like to see the positive aspects of communication continue to grow, opening a new world of possibilities and making life better for more and more of us. Speaking of unimaginable, I'd love to see the teleportation technology so that I can go back to my home country in the far East, Japan, in a split of seconds. Why not dreaming big?
