My Approach

Adaptive

Change is inevitable, especially in fast-paced environments. I stay closely aligned with stakeholders so that when business needs shift, design can pivot thoughtfully and strategically. I adapt solutions without losing sight of their purpose, ensuring the final product continues to meet both user needs and business goals.

Practical

I approach every project with a strong understanding of real-world constraints, from technical limitations to tight deadlines and shifting priorities. I focus on what’s essential, make smart trade-offs without compromising design integrity, and prioritize clearly to deliver meaningful outcomes within complex or evolving boundaries.

Case Studies

"One of Satoko's strongest talent is communication. She was hand-selected to work on the Communication Tiger Team, where she produced three newsletters and conducted group interviews to gather feedback."

Former Manager

"Satoko has a very strong foundation in communication and presenting design work. Her skillset will help sell ideas (backed by research) and facilitate workshops so that your team can get consensus and guide the projects towards the right solutions."
