I am a Creative Director and Product Designer heading up Sony's creative division in Europe. I engage in various projects through collaboration with professionals and creators across diverse business domains and my approach focuses on merging tangible and experiential aspects, bridging the digital and physical realms. I strive to dissolve barriers among diverse creative skills, aspiring to craft unified and refined creativity.

I also engage in design projects for furniture and objects in my capacity as an independent product designer.

 

After specializing in spatial design at Chiba University's Industrial Design Department, I worked at TOTO before joining Sony in 2003. From 2006 to 2010, I was stationed at Sony's Design Center Europe in London for 5 years. During this time, I contributed to the development and design of products for the European market and participated in two Milan Salone exhibitions. Upon returning to Japan, I took on comprehensive creative direction responsibilities as a Chief Art Director, encompassing product design in home categories like TVs, R&D, new category product design, communication design, and UI/UX design. I have received multiple awards such as the iF Design Award GOLD, Good Design Award Gold Prize, Red Dot Design Award Best of Best, and the National Commendation for Invention by the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry.
