About me¶

Hi everyone, I’m Kae. I live in Tokyo and I’m joining this program from Skylab Workshop. 

My background is in engineering and UX research, and I have worked at Sony for many years.  

My journey with Fab began around 2010, when the ideas of “Fab” and “Make” were starting to gain recognition in Japan. I bought a Reprap 3D printer and began creating interactive art pieces, which I exhibited at Maker Faire. Later, I completed Fab Academy and Fabricademy, and I am now an instructor at both Fab Lab Kamakura and Skylab Workshop.

I joined the Fab Future Digital Science program because I want to apply data-science skills to both my professional work and my Fab activities. Professionally, I work on the UX and application design for two projects: an AI-based tool for biomedical scientists and an AI-driven mental-health counseling. I hope to use data science across the full process—from understanding user needs to presenting insights through intuitive GUIs.

As a Fab instructor, I also want to explore how data science can help expand Fab communities and support students in achieving their goals.

I’m excited to continue learning and applying these skills throughout the program.
