Bio   Akemi started her career in marketing and project management in the cultural sector, and helped to develop and launch the art magazine Technikart, which has since become one of the major life style magazines for young stylish French. In the early 90's, she was assistant producer at the Louvre Museum, making some of the museum's renowned educational documentaries and films. This experience lead her to become involved in new media and products that use computers to educate people: first at H�risson&Fox Co., a start-up company that produced educational CD-Rom's for children, then at Sentius Corporation in Palo Alto, California, where she worked on linguistic computing software and a CD-Rom for the ESL education programme. After her studies at Parsons School of Design, she worked in New York, first as a freelance graphic designer, then as an information architect for Sapient. She then moved to Montreal, Canada, where she became a senior user interface designer for Discreet Logic's R&D Department, developing user interfaces for high-end editing and special effects software. She holds a patent for user interface design from her work there.
 
Focus   To create a product that is really valuable in our society, a designer must be able to develop furniture, clothing, electronic products or virtual services in any direction but always according to the core concept of the project. I hope to learn skills in product design and explore possibilities in wearable computer during my studies here.
