Hi, I’m Mayu.
Interaction/information designer, based in Japan.
Design, is at a defining moment. While making things has never been more accessible, and products and services continue to multiply, the role of designer is being fundamentally reshaped, and the societal challenges we face are too urgent and too complex for any one perspective to solve alone.
I’ve spent over 20 years working across Japanese and Western design cultures — and what that time has taught me is that the most interesting thinking happens in the constructive collision between different values, not within any single one. I work at the intersection of information architecture and human-machine interaction, bringing the cross-cultural depth to how systems are structured and how people make sense of them. Good design, I believe, is always a collective act.
