About
Relocated in Tokyo in October 2016, I have the opportunity to work freelance while exploring the many aspects of Japan.
My main client is also my former employer for two years in India, the design studio VISAVIS. I have the awesome responsibility to expand the studio's reach to Japan as well as support the team in design projects.
I am interested in both freelance project and permanent positions in and around Tokyo.
With over 5 years of working experience, I am able to fit in a team and understand their design process right away. Able to sketch, conceptualize and model for production, jumping in at any point of the design journey won't be an issue.
I look forward to hearing from you! -

From there, we grew to a happu family of 14 designing and developing products mainly for India, in direct collaboration with factories belonging to our founders, the Butterfly Group.

Collaborating with engineers live, with direct access to factories, has been a great experience of team work and positive compromises. -
