My current job
My job involves envisioning the customer value and societal ideals that will be essential 10 years from now, bringing them to life, and making them tangible. I translate these envisioned concepts into words, visual imagery, and experiences, shaping them into clear future goals. While it is challenging to form a shared vision with people from diverse perspectives inside and outside the company and turn it into reality, I am taking on the challenge to achieve an exciting future.

How I spent my student life
My time as a student at Geiko was spent immersed in creating endlessly. One of my fondest memories from undergraduate school was being deeply involved in production and costume design for a fashion show club. The joy of collaborating with team members from different areas of expertise to achieve synergy is something I still carry into my current work. In graduate school, I participated in projects that went beyond proposals, gaining experience in implementation and sales. I learned that ideas only reveal their true value when they are realized, and this principle remains vital in my work dealing with the uncertain future.
Message for prospective students
One of the most appealing aspects of Geiko lies in its environment, which fosters challenges and embraces a wide range of expressions. The opportunity to explore what design meant to me in such an environment was incredibly valuable. When I first entered the program, I vaguely wanted to design products. However, my time at Geiko broadened my understanding of the vast world of design, leading me to pursue my current career path.
Geiko allows you to explore various facets of design while discovering your strengths, making it an excellent choice even for those who are uncertain about their future aspirations.
