Self-Introduction | Creating a society where children can think, 'I want to be an adult soon!'
“I want to increase the number of adults who are excitedly and happily taking on challenges so that children can look forward to becoming adults!”
This is the starting point of my current activities and the future I am aiming for.
I am a 39-year-old working mother. Through a parallel career, I am exploring a way of working (and living) that is true to myself.
After a career as a corporate employee, I experienced a leave of absence and resignation due to mental health issues.
Since then, I have re-examined my core values and arrived at my current style while constantly asking myself, 'How can I balance parenting and work in a way I am satisfied with?' and 'How can I contribute to society?'
Currently, I leverage customer understanding × product understanding × direction skills to provide a 'proposal-based' service, delivering visuals that reach the people who truly need my clients' products and services.
Current Activities
💖 Leveraging my strengths in 'customer/product understanding × direction skills' to propose visuals that reach those who need them.
🔰 Studying community design to further develop my strengths.
🌏 Also handling support tasks at a startup company that is energizing Japan, with a focus on regional revitalization.
Strengths and Interests
I excel at deepening customer and product understanding and designing communication based on those two elements.
Generating realistic ideas that take conditions and constraints into account is also a strength of mine.
With 'things I love and excel at'—communication, planning, and direction—as my core, I continue to take on new challenges and keep updating myself as an 'adult who works with excitement'.

Future Vision
I want to contribute to creating a society where children think, 'I want to grow up fast!'
To achieve this, I believe it is necessary for children to see 'adults' who are excited about their work and living their lives.
I myself want to be an adult who continues to work with excitement and enjoys taking on challenges.
If such adults increase, children should be able to think, 'I want to be an adult myself soon!'
That is why I want to use my strengths to support the excitement of those I work with!
I want to make that my job and live with excitement as an adult that my childhood self would admire.
Balancing fulfilling parenting with work that contributes to society
Not relying on a single company, but consistently earning a living by centering work on my 'strengths x passions' based on my own values
Activities to discover and share the good aspects of Japan, helping people involved with Japan to love it even more
There are still many things I can do and want to do from here on out.
A 'society where children want to grow up' starts with me becoming that model myself.
With that thought in mind, I take on challenges every day.
