Takuya Isogai
Japan
CAREER Enrolled in April 2010; Completed master’s degree in March 2012
I studied Art History as an undergraduate. At the same time, I was involved in fashion design businesses in relation to brand management. My passion was to grasp how design itself operates in connection with society and this was the reason I decided to study at KMD. I researched medical service design at KMD, collaborating with a hospital and a medical institution. I accompanied nurses, made prototypes of services, and tested them thoroughly on the premises.
I currently work for a company, Recruit Life Style, and am responsible for setting up new services for clients as an engineer. My experiences at KMD, such as learning to understand conditions on the premises, along with using my hands and thinking at the same time, serve as the foundation for my current work.
