UX Design Lead at Amazon
I'm a Product Designer with 15+ years experience, most of it spent here in Tokyo. I worked with both small startups and big global companies, building customer centered products. Love climbing mountains in my free time.
“Rikki possesses a profound understanding of the Japanese product design landscape, complemented by his extensive experience in UX design within Japan. He offers honest, experience-based feedback that directly addresses any confusion or questions I have. His mentorship is invaluable for me and anyone looking to deepen their understanding or carve out a career in Japanese product design.”
“Talking with Rikki was a genuine pleasure. It ranked among the most informative and detailed sessions I've experienced. Though I initially signed up for a 30-minute session, Rikki provided continuous and thorough feedback, making every moment truly valuable. The emphasis on storytelling, trade-offs, prioritization, and the STAR method offered incredibly practical insights.”
“I had a awesome session with Rikki! He took the time to understand my experiences, provided me with insights on my resume and portfolio. He also gave me many great points to consider to help me begin a new career and my move to a new country. Looking forward to another session. Thanks Rikki!”
