Hi! My name is Yuri, a Japanese product designer with 4+ years of experience in design. I earned my Master’s in Human-Computer Interaction from California College of the Arts in San Francisco. Having worked professionally in the Bay Area for several years, I’ve collaborated with cross-functional teams worldwide, from small to large companies.

With a background in education and consulting, I’m most passionate about finding the sweet spot between improving user experiences and achieving business goals. To me, design is a complex yet exciting opportunity to hone my skills, untangle complexity to create impact, and craft and visualize solutions that make people’s lives happier and easier.

My experience spans from startups to enterprises, including working on medical intake forms and EV charging software, AI-powered organizational network analysis, and sustainable energy monitoring software.

Outside of work, I enjoy the outdoors, team games, and all kinds of creative pursuits.
