About me

Since leaving DaimlerChrysler, Tokyo, I decided to move to Milan, Italy, to establish my own company, Hidesignworks, as an independent design consultant firm. I have been working on the company's management, brand, and design development while working for other clients in various design consulting capacities for the past 4 years. This year I moved to London for personal reasons and after having taken some time off I have decided that I would like to return to corporate design. There are many reasons for this but the main one is that conceptual design has finally carved a credible and profitable niche in the design world and I would like to be at the forefront of this movement. Equally I am interested in making a commitment to more sustainable design, from human friendly to nature smart, and find that London is a worldwide leader in this field. I am looking for a challenge, to revitalise my knowledge, and to pioneer new ideas in the design community within a motivated environment.
