Iori Kawano
UI/UX Designer
Tokyo, Japan
Designer who thinks in systems and ships in code. Sociology background turned professional asset: I read group behavior and organizational dynamics the way others read user flows. At YUMEMI, I redesigned a learning platform for skilled trade workers and designed smart home IoT interfaces. At Accenture Song, I owned an airline design system across mobile and web (with 12 custom Figma plugins) and led the UI for a university alumni app.
