Hiroyuki Tahara

Designer(Web, Graphic, Product, Branding)

I have been captivated by the world of design since high school, exploring various fields such as visual communication, product design, environmental design, and automotive design. My experience designing concept cars at SUBARU was a major turning point. I realized that design has the power not only to shape the appearance of a product but also to weave a brand’s narrative and resonate with people’s hearts.
Inspired by this experience, I decided to support the development of services and products from a broader perspective, so I left SUBARU and continued to hone my skills through roles as a design instructor and at an IT venture. In particular, my experience as a team leader was invaluable in developing the communication and problem-solving skills necessary to lead projects to success.
I am now taking a new step as a web design mentor in Denmark. Beyond teaching technical skills, I am passionate about supporting each student’s individual growth and helping them reach their full potential.
