PROJECTS

What I Bring

I combine customer discovery, AI prototyping, and B2B product execution to turn unclear business problems into testable products.

Customer Discovery

I start from real users and real workflows, not just product ideas.
I interview professionals, observe how work actually happens, and identify repeated business pain before defining the solution.

Evidence:
Clarmi / XTIA / HR AI Product Definition

AI Product Prototyping

I turn ambiguous AI opportunities into concrete workflows, prototypes, and MVPs.
My focus is not only on using AI, but on designing how AI fits into business decisions, review processes, and user workflows.

Evidence:
Clarmi / AutoBriefs / WENDA AI Invoice Extraction

B2B Product Execution

I connect business needs, user experience, technical feasibility, and go-to-market priorities.
My background spans enterprise IT at IBM, B2B SaaS startups in Japan and Italy, and freelance product work with Japanese companies.

Evidence:
IBM / WENDA / XTIA / Freelance PM
