Progressive Disclosure in Setup Flows
August 2025
To increase accessibility of earthquake warnings, I streamlined and simplified the user flow of Pinned Location setup, resulting in a 70% improvement in user activation rates.
All-in-one Earthquake Care Package
May 2024
I helped drive user engagement and relevance of an earthquake app through an end-to-end overhaul, transforming it into an authoritative, yet friendly all-in-one earthquake care package.
Insight-Driven Localized Marketplace
Dec 2024
I led the design of Campus Circle, a localized marketplace designed to boost transactions through addressing key user needs and pain points uncovered from user research.
Simplifying Search to Optimize Donor Discovery
Dec 2024 | Coming Soon!
I redesigned the database for donors by turning complex data into actionable insights to reduce cognitive load, surface relevant information, and create a personalized, intuitive experience.
About
拝啓
My love for design is rooted in my identity, which embodies the intersection between creativity and practicality. Before I found the perfect middle ground of product design, the years I spent pursuing either bioengineering or the arts allowed me to hone the skills necessary to becoming a better designer:
Research, innovation, creativity, and artistic expression.
My dual nature likely stems from my juxtaposing American and Japanese background, which has shaped me into the multicultural person I am today. I pride myself on being highly analytical and detail-oriented, and on my drive to continuously learn and grow — not only as a designer, but also as a person.
I will never stop creating, designing, and inventing. At my core, I am driven by my desire to elevate our lived experiences — through opportunities for delight or solving real challenges. I always keep this goal in mind and hope to make meaningful impacts through my designs.
