Hi, I'm Blair.

User Experience Designer
,
User Interface Designer
, Graphic Designer and educator.

a little about me


I have done a wide range of design work, from being the lead ux/ui designer at a cryptocurrency company to operating 19th century printing presses. I have experience working in multidisciplinary teams (from concept to production) through the user centered design process. I have done branding, logo design and icon creation. I can do some coding with HTML and CSS. I was also a teacher at public schools in Japan for seven years, where I learned a lot about the importance of communication and interacting with different kinds of people. I am based out of Tokyo, Japan.

Interested in working together or chatting about design? Please email me at blairthedesigner@gmail.com
