◾️KEI KATO
Kei Kato is a problem-solving designer who organizes information and calls himself "Image Realizer" because he specializes in providing services that "give shape to your thoughts and ideas.
Giving form to thoughts, which is never an abstract expression, is always a flexible means of thinking about things from all perspectives because it starts from a place where there is no form, and building the deliverables while carefully sharing them with the people involved.
Creating a space, including products and graphics, is a job that affects the hearts and minds of the people who come there.
The discovery and creation of problems and new values through research for this purpose is what creates the one and only originality.
In his case, he takes the time to carefully and analogously incorporate these processes into his designs.
The act of designing is an act of raising and solving a problem.
It is also the power to materialize a future that was previously unimaginable.
In recent years, things have become unstable in every respect,
I hope that everyone will have the opportunity to acquire the ability to design as their own power to live in the coming age.
Our mission is to make proposals that will help people acquire the ability to design as their own power in the coming age.
We are committed to providing the opportunity for everyone to acquire the ability to design as their own power in the coming age.
We are committed to creating products, interiors, and logos that incorporate technologies and backgrounds that are not yet available to the public,
We believe that it is their pleasure, and ours, to hear the thoughts and experiences that each of them has as information, to organize them toward a goal for each of the various situations, and to make a third party happy.
We would like to create a world where people feel joy in confronting problems and thinking for themselves.
We hope to create a world in which people feel joy in confronting problems and thinking for themselves.
