Hi, I'm Tomo! I love people and technology. I research how they might work together better and enhance our future.

I’m a UX researcher skilled in quantitative and qualitative research methods.

Back in 2015, I first learned the basics of UX research by actually carrying it out, working closely with other practitioners. Having witnessed the power of user research, I was instantly drawn in.

Following the three years of hands-on practice in industry, I recently completed advanced training in human-computer interaction and applied mixed-method social research. These experiences combined enabled me to approach complex problems with confidence by applying a range of tools and lenses accordingly.

I’m currently seeking a new opportunity where I could contribute to shaping a better future by combining my obsession for user centricity, creative problem solving, and skills to explore factors underlying people’s attitudes and behaviours.
