I am originally from Hokkaido, japan and moved to New Zealand in 2000. After graduating from college, I have decided to continue with my kiwi life and completed a degree in Industrial Design at Victoria University of Wellington in 2007.

From the four years of university education, I have improved my creation skills and learnt about how much design influences everyday life. I feel a lot of responsibility as a designer in terms of leading the future lifestyle and its quality. 

I think it is important to put personality in my design and also from my background, communication is the most important element in my life and I will always keep it in my mind. I would like to create a moment of comfort through interaction with my design.

Since later 2009, I have started making stuffed toys.
