Hello, I'm Taka and I'm a Japanese/Australian designer, currently residing in Tokyo, Japan. I've spent the last 10 years of my life playing tennis for SCAD, studying Graphic Design, riding motorcycles across the country, slowly forgetting my Australian accent, and learning what it means to be a legal alien in the United States. (The answer is, "not easy".) After the 10 years, I decided to pack up my life and move back to Japan to spend more time with my family.
Currently I am a lead digital product designer at ClickFunnels, working on the user side of the app. I do however take on side projects from time to time; working with smaller businesses, helping them strategize their business goals digitally and physically in their community.
Most of my time, right now, is dedicated to working at ClickFunnels, building Eastheart, and working on personal project of mine.
