I’m someone who enjoys turning curiosity into action. When something interests me, I rarely stop at ideas. I look for ways to build, test, and experience it in the real world, whether through my work or my own ventures.

My first startup experience came in 2014, when I co-founded 『GuestWhat』, a social dining marketplace connecting local hosts with guests for hosted dining experiences. I worked across operations, business development, service design, and product design, helping turn the initial idea into an MVP and iterating it through real user feedback. In one year, we hosted 50+ events and reached 400+ participants.

Years later, that same mindset led me to found『 Planttheory 』, a Kampo tea brand 🌱, in 2022. I built and operated the business until July 2026. Building the business gave me firsthand experience of what it takes to turn an idea into a real product and business, while making decisions with limited resources and real customers.

My leadership experience includes leading UX/UI design teams across mobile apps and IoT devices, guiding product design across interaction logic, product scenarios, interfaces, and hardware–software integration, and carrying that work through execution and product launch.

I believe strongly in continuous learning. I reflect on what I don’t yet know, build structured ways to learn it, and gradually turn unfamiliar problems into areas I can understand, navigate, and act on.
