HERIN HARAMOTO

Hi, I'm Herin. I'm an interaction designer/product designer specializing in people centered design. My process begins with empathy—exploring diverse approaches, prototyping, testing, and iterating to craft the most impactful solution. My expertise spans prototyping, designing intuitive interfaces, constructing tangible objects, and coding to create unique interactive experiences. In essence, my focus is on enriching user experiences by crafting sophisticated artifacts and systems that evoke deep emotions.

Previously, in London, I led projects shaping the future of shared mobility by leveraging AI and cutting-edge technologies. My work focused on creating seamless, innovative mobility experiences that redefine how people interact with transportation. I have also contributed to the SaaS domain, helping companies design intuitive digital products.
