MS: Don't increase waste
FS: How do you think the "design field" is evolving? What is the future of design?
MS: I'm amazed at the progress of generative AI. I think there will be a return to analog someday, but I can't imagine what that will look like.
FS: Where do you live? Do you feel the cultural heritage of your country affects your designs? What are the pros and cons during designing as a result of living in your country?
MS: I live in Japan. I feel influenced by the country's cultural heritage. The advantage is its simplicity. The disadvantage is that it lacks global appeal.

MS: Paper and pencil. Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Desktop PC, iPad
FS: What type of design work do you enjoy the most and why?
MS: Logo creation. Some logos are only used for a short time, but if we're lucky, there's a chance they'll be loved for 100 years to come, and that's what makes it so romantic.
FS: Do you work as a team, or do you develop your designs yourself?
MS: I'm developing it myself.
FS: How can people contact you?
MS: Please contact by email.
FS: Thank you for providing us with this opportunity to interview you.
