About Miniru

Profile

Miniru

After graduating high school in Hawaii, I enrolled in the Faculty of Law at Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan. During my studies, I undertook long-term internships at two emerging startups, contributing to a wide range of tasks from product to poster design.

Upon graduation, I joined a major tech company in Tokyo and gained experience in inter-organizational UX research and production of corporate/branding websites, before going independent in 2022.

Today I work as a freelance designer focused on startup product development — carrying a project end to end, from design through delivery. My interests include fashion, swimming, soccer, and golf.

What I offer

I offer a skill set tailored to startup needs, providing end-to-end support—from product design to landing pages, company websites, and even business cards.

With a focus on both user and business perspectives, I deliver work that truly resonates.

Being bilingual (Japanese–English), I’m also equipped to build products for global markets and communicate effectively in English.
