I really appreciate the corporate culture of your company, and I deeply desire to serve your company with my contribution! I'm a "T-shaped professional" global
talent working in interdisciplinary teams across interaction design, software engineering, business management, psychology and sociology at professional level.
The inspiring quote from Steve Jobs: “Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish” becomes my attitude towards life. Moreover, I’m exceptionally competent at designing a great user
experience based on "Design Thinking", "Service Design" and "User-centered Design" methods that balance global vision with insightful perspectives. In Asia Paci�c,
I have the international work experience for multinational companies across Japan and Singapore; enabling me to continue creatively designing services and
products for the world.
Most importantly, I’ve always pursued current trends in the mercurial IT industry; hence I’m able to timely discover cutting-edge creative solutions in the
fast-paced environment. Technology inspires us to create a better world for future generations, even giving hope to the hopeless. Realizing our full potential, "Our
Passion Unites Us." You will bene�t from my international experience, interdisciplinary knowledge, integrating ability and communication skill. Using new ideas to
solve new problems and create new values. Let's continually create more positive impact on the community!
