Shodai Kayama / カヤマ ショウダイ
About Me
My name is Shodai Kayama — creative technologist & design researcher based in London and Tokyo. I design new experience by weaving analog/digital interaction, storytelling and people’s creativity with playfulness.
I have just graduated from MArch Design for Performance and Interaction at Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London. And, I am looking for collaborators and new opportunities that I can apply my interaction design skill. So, feel free to drop me a message
My interest is designing new interaction that naturally adapts to daily experience. In order for this, my practices tend to be technical but also superficially simple and playful. I believe this approach can broaden people’s perspective about future interaction and technology.
Current CV is here.
