Hey, it's Minami

I'm currently at Mantle, where I get to create digital experiences that are functional and positively impact people's lives by making their tech less painful and more pleasurable!

A little bit about me

🇯🇵 I was born and raised in Kobe, Japan. I moved to Hawaii by myself immediately after university graduation.

Why did I choose Hawaii? - well, I love the ocean, surf, nature and sports. Hawaii is the very place where I can experience everything throughout the year, isn't it? It was an inevitable choice for me.

👀 I'm passionate about technology and user experience (UX) design, particularly how it connects with people. I find immense joy in creating products that not only resonate with communities but also hold great potential for business growth.

My focus is on 'Growth Design' – crafting interfaces that are user-friendly and smooth, ensuring satisfaction for both users and businesses. Helping companies grow while delighting users is my ultimate goal.
