Personal PR

Having lived in the U.S. for thirty years alone, I have been blessed with the opportunity to experience both cultures and lifestyles of the U.S. and Japan. This has given me a wide perspective to think globally while been privileged to design products in a wide variety of fields that are now being sold all around the world. Constantly challenging myself to create new designs with the goal that people all around the world would love these products. I am confident that my business skills, marketing / research skills, creative thinking skills and the design skills I have mastered throughout my career will surely be a contributing force towards any job. I also pride myself in being active and healthy with a positive attitude both mentally and physically.
