Hi I’m Yuri.
I’m a design researcher at Mckinsey & Company in Tokyo.
I graduated from Keio University in Japan with a major in law, and joined an exchange program in New York, USA taking business and fine-arts courses. Received full scholarship from the US-Japan Council.
I have always had a passion for collaboration of art and business. I’m very interested in the concept of User Centered Design since it is solving business needs by creating impactful design where I would be able to utilize my business background.
I love nature and wild creatures. I have been drawing since childhood and curious about discovering new colors, patterns and perspectives in the world.
My hobbies are baking, drawing, traveling, hot springs, tennis, skiing and hiking!
