- Designer Profile -
When Michio was in junior high school, he once sent a letter to a stationery manufacturer with a drawing of one of their products and a note reading, “I have a design idea that might make your product better.” Fast forward to today—now he is a fully-fledged product designer. Michio has helped design many devices used by the general public such as traffic lights and vending machines, and he feels that creating things anyone can easily use numbers among his life’s callings.
Born in Osaka in 1953, after graduating from the Faculty of Art at Aichi Prefectural University of Fine Arts and Music, he worked at a major electronics manufacturer before becoming an independent designer in 1988.
