HIRAI Yasuyuki

  • Interior Design
  • Office Design
  • Interior Product Design
  • Inclusive Design

My expertise originally started in product and space design with a focus on the workplace.
My experience at RCA and IDEO led me to expand my field to inclusive design and design thinking in the 2000s. Currently, I am working on new educational programs that integrate design and business entrepreneurship, and societal design research based on inclusive design. I have received many awards, including the German Red Dot Award, IAUD International Award, Good Design Award, and Kids Design Award.

Design is in the midst of a major transformation process from “design of things” to “design of change”.
What will our world look like tomorrow? In an age when it is difficult to predict, “advanced design professionals” with the expertise and enthusiasm to “imagine and create” the “future we want” are the indispensable creative talent for our common future.
Even if you have not specialized in design, you can become an “advanced design professional” if you have a passion for learning and a “love” for design.
Why not become a design strategist who can anticipate and tackle social issues?
