Designer & Front-end Engineer — Figma ⇄ code, with AI

Profile

Profile

Working independently since 2001, I bridge the gap between UI/UX design, design systems, and modern front-end engineering. As an author of numerous web design books in Japan, I specialize in Figma enterprise training, design token architecture, and production-ready frontend development. Also ranked among the Top 500 all-time most viewed and downloaded creators globally on Unsplash.

In recent years, I have focused on building AI-driven workflows that seamlessly connect Figma and code in both directions—empowering designers and developers to build better products faster.
