Moyai is a design leader shaping systems and products that bring clarity to growing teams 🌱
My work sits at the intersection of systems thinking and hands-on execution, partnering closely with teams as they navigate growing pains, align on decisions, and build foundations that support sustainable progress.



Moyai in 30 seconds. Ready?
Clarity through systems thinking
I break down messy problems into clear structures, help teams see patterns, and align quickly around decisions that move the product forward.
Decision-making through structure
I break down messy problems into clear structures, help teams see patterns, and align quickly around decisions that move the product forward.
Human-centered, system-aware
Growing up across Japan, Europe, and the U.S. made me naturally observant and people-oriented. I’m endlessly curious about how humans live, move, and make decisions in different contexts.

Why UX?
Because it allows me to work at the intersection of people, systems, and real-world constraints.
I’m a career switcher with a finance background, and while I’m grateful for those years, I often felt disconnected from the human stories behind the work.
Design brought me closer to how people think, decide, and navigate complexity, and reminded me why clarity matters, especially as products and teams grow 💛

What's my designer superpower?
I'm genuinely curious about people and how they navigate through life!
Feedback from collaborators often highlights my clear communication and ability to connect individual pieces into a bigger picture.
I’m seen as a reliable, strategic partner who helps teams align around decisions and move forward together.✨






How do I work best?
I’ve worked remotely for the past five years, which has shaped how I collaborate, thoughtfully, across time zones, and with intention 🎯
I value flexibility, movement, and face-to-face moments when they matter most, and I do my best work in environments that respect focus, trust, and shared ownership 👑
What keeps me inspired?
Traveling and experiencing new places! ✈️
Growing up across Japan, Europe, and the U.S. shaped how I see the world and made me attentive to context, perspective, and everyday human behavior. That curiosity continues to influence how I observe, listen, and design.
