Today I finally set up this new blog site and am very excited about it! I have been thinking of starting a blog, but it took me a while to finally start it. In this blog site, I’d like to write about my thoughts and reflections on design and experience that I encounter every day.
Just a little about myself… I am originally from a small town in Kyushu, Japan, and have been living in Boston USA for the last 10 years. My background is in graphic design and usability. I am now working in a software group in a management consulting firm, applying my design and usability skills to create effective customer experiences. So this blog represents my personal reflections and analyses on design and the experience of everyday things, or “mono” (in Japanese, mono means “a thing”).
