Hiromi is a renaissance man. He brings a thoughtful, calculated approach to designing anything. Be it a podcast, a digital product, a web presence, or a visual expression, he analyzes first and then delivers an experience that directly fulfills the needs of the client and their audience. He has an ability to think serenely in chaotic situations and brings a cheerful and positive outlook to any team. He's a quick learner and handles creatives types with skillful tact.

CEO, UviaUsHiromi is a great member of the team, an agile learner, and invaluable as a designer and in roles involving client-relations. I hope to continue to work with Hiromi indefinitely.

Tech EntrepreneurHiromi is a highly motivated self-starter who takes great pride in his work, as clearly evidenced by the superior quality of what he brings to the table...but at the same time is humble and always is seeking to learn and level up. However, something of even greater value than all of this, is his genuineness. Hiromi is just simply a great human being who is always a joy to be around. Seriously, top notch!
