My journey spans from Japan to Canada, broadening my horizons in business school and fostering growth in diverse organizations. Major accomplishments include transforming a Japanese Canadian non-profit and scaling a consulting club. I've contributed to society by forging relationships with local charities, businesses, and the Board of Trade. My company interviews global thought leaders, fostering inspiration and business development. Through all endeavors, I strive to create impact, driven by the belief that every experience is an opportunity to learn and grow.
STATEMENT OF ART:When I think about design and art, I envision it as an enriching journey akin to travel, where I, as the designer, guide the viewer or reader through a carefully curated landscape of information. Every element on the canvas or the page, every pixel in a digital composition, is a stepping stone on this journey, thoughtfully placed to lead the viewer to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the concepts being conveyed.
My design philosophy is deeply influenced by Japanese aesthetics, which hold a profound reverence for detail, subtlety, and the natural harmony of elements within a space. Just as the smallest detail in a traditional Japanese room—a single flower in an alcove, a precisely folded paper in a corner—can impart significant meaning and nuance, I, too, strive to imbue every aspect of my designs with a purposeful presence.
The color choices I make, how I arrange space on a page and the compositional decisions I make, are all guided by this intent. Colors do not merely fill spaces; they evoke emotions, convey moods, and subtly guide the viewer's attention. The arrangement of space is not a mere exercise in aesthetics; it is a strategic endeavor to highlight the importance of each element and its relationship to others.
For me, the composition of a page is akin to creating a harmonious rhythm. By mindfully varying the density and distribution of elements, I seek to create a visual cadence that allows the viewer to effortlessly flow through the information, absorbing, reflecting, and connecting with it on an intuitive level.
In my designs, every small detail works together to form a holistic atmosphere that heightens the viewer's interpretive engagement with the words and concepts presented. Through this immersive and meticulously crafted journey, I aim to communicate not just information but also a resonating aesthetic experience, one that leaves the viewer enriched and enlightened.
Design, for me, is a silent yet eloquent language, a bridge between information and understanding. It is an art that speaks not just to the eyes but to the mind and heart. As I continue on my own journey as a designer, my mission is to refine this language to explore its limitless potential in guiding viewers through the myriad landscapes of knowledge and expression.
