About Me

Shodai Kayama — creative technologist & design researcher based in Tokyo. He designs new experience by weaving analog/digital interaction, storytelling and people’s creativity with playfulness.

He graduated from MArch Design for Performance and Interaction at Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London. He always looks for collaborators and new opportunities that he can apply my interaction design skill.

His interest is designing new interaction and technology that naturally adapts to daily experience. In order for this, his works are superficially simple and playful. He believes this approach can broaden people’s perspectives about future interaction and technology.

Current CV is here.
