Aki Fukai, Product Designer

About

Hi, I design digital products.

I’m the annoying curious kid asking questions like: Is this a problem worth solving? How do we know? Then distilling and testing educated guesses with prototypes before bringing them to life in an agile and collaborative way — together with product people and software engineers.  Iteration

Currently I’m designing products and services with precious design studio in Hamburg — mainly working on enfore to empower small businesses with technology which until today was only available for large corporates.

Prior to that I worked at the fintech startup collectAI which was born at Liquid Labs. And until then I helped international and small enterprises, ventures and agencies in Germany and Switzerland to architect and design their digital experiences and services in a broad range of industries since the late nineties.

I believe technology should follow a clear purpose and based on this, give people super powers to feel and do better in their lives.
