Hi, I'm Nagisa! 👋

I’m a Senior Product Designer and AI-native design engineer based in the SF Bay Area. With a background in architecture and roots in Japan, I approach design as a system—transforming complexity into clear, intuitive experiences.

Over the past decade, I’ve worked across fintech and multi-platform products, and more recently expanded into building products end-to-end using AI. I’m particularly interested in how design and engineering are converging, and how AI enables faster, more exploratory ways of creating.

I enjoy solving complex, data-driven problems and crafting experiences that are both thoughtful and impactful—with a subtle sense of play.
