About

Hello there!

I’m a recent graduate with a Bachelor of Industrial Design.

Originally from Tokyo, Japan, and moved to Utah at 16. I grew up with an obsession for different types of sports since my childhood. My passion lies in footwear design, particularly in athletic shoes. Sports have played a significant role in my life-having competed as a swimmer and soccer player until an injury led me to retire from the competitive level. However, my love for sports remains strong, and I’ve since embraced new activities like snowboarding and bouldering.

Throughout my studies and design experience at Academy of Art University, I’ve cultivated a vision of creating products that not only enhance performance but also help people discover their own joy in sports. I look forward to contributing my skills and creativity to a brand that shares this vision.
