【Job Responsibilities】 I was responsible for construction planning and schedule management as a site supervisor. Later, I transitioned into store design, where I handled a wide range of interior design projects, from roadside retail stores to commercial facilities. 【Key Achievements】 While some believe that designers should not be directly involved on-site, my one year of field experience has provided me with a strong understanding of detailing, cost control, and construction methods. This experience continues to inform my design work, enabling me to successfully deliver a variety of projects, including privately owned cafés, restaurants in commercial facilities, izakayas, and welfare facilities. 【Professional Development】 Through my work, I have developed the ability to design from both a practical on-site and conceptual perspective, which I consider one of my key strengths. In facility-related projects, I collaborate with specialists for HVAC and electrical systems, while independently producing drawings for plumbing and fire protection systems, as well as complete sets of plans including layouts and elevations. For remote construction projects, I have taken on a supervisory role, directing on-site managers and ensuring smooth project execution by leveraging my field experience.

Interior & Exterior Coordinator / Marketing Assistant Worked for a custom home builder, supporting both residential design coordination and marketing activities. Key responsibilities included: • Interior and exterior material coordination • Client meetings and specification selection • Cost estimation support • 3D visualization and rendering • Marketing materials and advertisement design • Presentation document preparation Starting with no prior experience in the construction industry, I developed a strong understanding of residential design and building processes through hands-on project involvement. By collaborating closely with clients, designers, and construction professionals, I gained valuable experience in balancing design intent, budget considerations, and construction feasibility. Alongside design coordination, I independently developed graphic design skills using Adobe Illustrator and created promotional materials for events and open-house exhibitions. This role helped establish my foundation in design coordination and strengthened my appreciation for the relationship between design concepts and practical execution.
