Design = Problem solving
I'm an entrepreneur minded/experienced bi-cultural/cross-cultural man from Japan who lives in LA. I am passionate about designing everything not only for graphics, web, etc... communication, business, action, and mindset always be able to design to make people's life happier. Entrepreneurship mind is craving for new opportunity now especially for a Japanese company who wants to try to expand the business to the US.
Ambition
In the future
The mission of my entire life is to connect Japan and the world especially the US as of now (04/2021). There are so many cultural differences and people are having a hard time and that is causing a delay in decision-making. Done is better than perfect is my favorite phrase and I would like to keep execute things to get success and connect people all over the world.
