About

I'm Arin, a designer from New York City currently pursuing a Master's degree in Strategic Design at Kyushu University. I believe thoughtful design can create meaningful impact by making experiences more accessible, useful, and enjoyable. 
 
My journey has taken me from working on digital products in New York to researching design and society in Japan. I enjoy learning from different perspectives, exploring new ideas, and using design to better understand the relationship between people, products, and services. Above all, I'm motivated by the opportunity to create solutions that improve everyday life.

It was a great pleasure to work with her and to guide her on her journey to become a UX Designer. Arin always displayed professionalism, she was always very open to feedback and was able to deliver high-quality work and to meet every deadline, no matter how hard the tasks were.

Arin is one of the most hard working and intelligent designers I've had the chance to work with. Working alongside each other, I've witnessed Arin’s eagerness to learn and develop, both as a designer and a collaborator. Arin consistently demonstrates qualities such as strong will and determination, thoughtfulness in design thinking, and always aims to deliver great work. Arin has also won the award for "Most Likely to See the Positive" in our team for consistently remaining optimistic when faced with new challenges.

I had the pleasure of working with Arin recently on a client proposal that required an expedited orientation and turnaround to meet a presentation deadline. As the Experience Designer, Arin was quick to understand the context of the proposal, and the requirements of the concept wireframes that were needed to help illustrate our ideas and concept. Arin eagerly collaborated with others on the team, asked the right questions to prompt important discussions, and delivered more than what was asked.

Working with Arin was overall a fantastic experience and it's clear that she is talented both with communication and execution. She exhibits very strong organization habits and approaches her work with a high degree of consideration and rationality. Arin brings to the table what you're looking for in a UX designer and together her and I accomplished a lot of important work for clients.
