My current job
I work in architectural design based in Nanao City, Ishikawa Prefecture. My goal is to create buildings that preserve and carry forward the nature, unique culture, and traditional festivals rooted in the Noto region, leaving a lasting legacy for future generations. Currently, I am involved in rebuilding efforts for the Noto region following the Noto Peninsula Earthquake that struck on January 1, 2024. My work includes rebuilding and renovating damaged structures and contributing to community development.

How I spent my student life
I was fortunate to be surrounded by my supervisor, Professor Ukai, as well as talented seniors and peers, allowing me to fully immerse myself in architecture during my student life. I spent most of my university days in the lab or drafting room, working on design assignments and competitions.
