Hi, I’m Motomi Okumura, a product designer focused on turning ambiguous business goals into clear, scalable products. Over the past four years I’ve shipped end-to-end features for fast-paced B2B2C SaaS platforms, and I recently served as Acting Design Lead for a Series C community product, leading a four-person design team to deliver high-impact work. I specialize in 0-to-1 product design, design systems (Material 3, Radix UI), and design operations that improve collaboration across product, engineering, and leadership. I’ve championed design-led processes, conducted design legacy audits to guide migrations, and built no-code automation that lowered client workloads by 40%. I’m open to onsite/hybrid in Vancouver or remote across Canada.
