\"August<\/p>\n

Design has become an integral part of many modern small businesses. \u201cDesign thinking\u201d, a method to drive business innovation picking up momentum around 2009, has led to being one of the most sought-after academic programs at Stanford University,\u00a0according to the New York Times.
\nIt should not come as a surprise that entry-level User Experience Designers in Silicon Valley can expect a starting salary of USD 100k a year. Creating awareness for your business now starts and ends on the web and in an economy where people\u2019s attention is the most valuable thing, design has taken center stage.
\nIn her speech for the SCCIJ, Ms. Tina Koyama\u00a0will demonstrate why creating a digital presence (be it on social media, a website, or an app), generating captivating content to communicate your business, promoting through marketing, and making an app intuitive to use, all require extensive design (thinking).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Biography of the Speaker:<\/h3>\n
\n

Born and raised in Switzerland by\u00a0a Swiss architect father\u00a0and a Japanese\u00a0\u201ccraftswoman\u00a0at heart\u201d\u00a0mother,\u00a0Ms. Tina Koyama<\/strong>\u00a0was exposed to design from early on. She started building digital things since 12 years old and found a way to combine her passion for tech and design pursuing a career as a product designer in Tech. Ms. Koyama has since worked in Tokyo and in the Silicon\u00a0Valley, accumulating over a decade of experience in building products focused on customer needs. Building digital products in\u00a0fast-paced environments made her long for lasting quality, haptic experiences, and ways to give back. When her mother took her to meet artisans across Japan she learned that many of the artisans struggled to survive. These encounters became the reason to start\u00a0POJ Studio<\/a>,\u00a0a lifestyle brand that helps foster a sustainable ecosystem within Japan\u2019s crafts industry by highlighting the stories of the craftspeople with whom they work, bridging the gap between them and an international market.<\/p>\n
