Hello, I'm Marino

I'm a web designer based in Tokyo with over 10 years of professional experience. Born and raised in Kyoto, I had the opportunity to live in Seattle for a year during my childhood.

Throughout my career, I have focused on meeting client requirements while creating visually appealing and user-friendly websites that prioritize UI and UX. In my current role, I'm responsible for the entire process of B2B web projects, including design, markup coding (HTML/CSS), and conducting CSS reviews for the frontend team.

Recently, I have also started exploring game development in my free time, with a particular interest in character design, which aligns with my creative passions.

Oh, and while my Japanese is native-level, my English abilities are somewhat limited for now. But I'm always working on improving!
