Ray is a designer from Japan who believes solidifying concepts is the essential key to what he does. And at the same time, he believes this solidification process to be the most challenging task in the entire design workflow. To Ray, graphic and web skills are, although very strong, merely tools. His job is to put together the concept and the skills to create a design piece valuable to not only the client, but more importantly, to the end users. Ray is currently enrolled in the New Media Design and Web Development program at BCIT in British Columbia. Here, he strives to become a true expert in the field of design. Spending most of his youth in Ontario, Canada, he became a bilingual in English and Japanese, and also a multicultural individual at the same time. He chose to live in Japan, his home country, during a 4-year university program at Keio University, and then made his first step to becoming a designer at an advertising agency in Tokyo. He stayed there for a year and a couple of months before moving to Canada once again. After completing his study at BCIT, Ray aims to work at a design firm in Vancouver, where he is eager to gain more valuable learning experiences in design and web development. In the not so distant future, he hopes to become a globally acclaimed designer, working for clients from all around the world. Besides being a designer, Ray is also a front-end web developer, photographer, film creator, writer, traveller, rock music enthusiast, football (soccer) lover, and a snowboarder. As a writer, he shares his perspectives on design and web through his personal Medium account.…Ray is a designer from Japan who believes solidifying concepts is the essential key to what he does.
