Hello! I am Akari. As a passionate UX/UI Designer with a background in teaching for five years, I have honed my skills in making meaningful connections with students and fostering their growth in writing. Witnessing my students evolve from crafting one-sentence paragraphs to expressing nuanced opinions by June has been a rewarding experience. I thrive on designing differentiated learning experiences that emphasize the uniqueness of each student. This teaching journey inspired me to explore professions aligning with empathy and tailored solutions. My search lead me to discover the dynamic and competitive field of UX Design, where constant innovation fuels my excitement.

In my teaching journey, work-life balance was usually the challenge. Apps like Calm, Finch, and Alltrails provided me some guidance in building good habits such as mindfulness, habit-building, and adventure-seeking. They changed my life for the better.

This brings this story to today. I believe design can change the world, one iteration at a time, one person at a time. With my values of empathy, creativity, practicality, and authenticity, I aim to bring the realest of creative solutions for your needs.
