Design & business principles are rooted in my origins. Simplicity of zen philosophy delivers sophistication and focus. My mind is trained to use the most efficient methods while delivering the highest quality product. This will lead to true success.
My design thinking correlates to my cooking:
Understanding each ingredient in-depth; flavor, texture, nutrition, chemical reaction, etc…
Studying content/data/nature of products
Organizing each ingredient into creative recipes.
Envisioning big picture, defining proper UI components
Cooking per recipe
Wireframing and flow
Presentation requires dish and food combination tailored to meal. Japanese bento-box is a great way to think about layout per context.
Visual Design; layout, color, typography, icons

My family clan (丸に剣片喰）is a symbol of sword into medicine flower. Meaning; well-being from endurance, diligent, sincerity. I carry this tradition.
