Hey there!

I'm Saori Okawa

I’m a UX designer based in the Hague, the Netherlands, with a curiosity in understanding people as well as organisational skills to make complicated information easy to comprehend.

Background

I have been involved in linguistic industries such as language education and translation.

As a teacher, first I listened to and observed students to figure out what they struggle to understand,
then organised the relevant information in a simple way to help them comprehend it more easily.
This experience has developed the exact skills which I need as a UX designer.

In addition, I can offer a high sensitivity for details and rigidity in getting a job done,
which I have acquired through my four years of experience as a translation checker.

Curiosity

“Curiosity” is the word that summarises me the most.
You would be probably convinced once you hear I lived in 5 different countries in my 20’s!
I am eager to learn new things by doing research, by taking action and by communicating with people.

Goals

My goal is to apply these skills for helping not only the students in front of me,
but also a wide range of people enjoying using products or services.
My source of motivation is to do something for people and to fulfill my curiosity.
I am looking to understand different users and provide them solutions.
