So nice to meet you!

 

Aiko Tanaka

UX Designer

I designed physical spaces for years to shape how people feel, work, and connect. Now I bring that same human-centered mindset as a UX designer, focused on products for social and environmental impact.​

My Journey

I believe great design should give everyone the power to thrive.

​

My journey began in hospital interior design, where I witnessed how environments influence healing and well-being. That responsibility sparked a deeper curiosity—how might design reach further, touch more lives, and remove barriers?

 

After years of shaping physical experiences, I transitioned to UX to design with greater reach and equity in mind. Today, I craft digital experiences that feel intuitive, human, and empowering.
