  • TAKEHIRO WADA
    DESIGN HERO INC. / Designer

  • 　

    Mainly working in graphic design, while expanding into community events and educational settings, and getting involved in social projects. Rethinking design from a broader perspective and exploring new approaches. Always thinking about what happens before and after design, and coming up with ideas to make things better. Planning, creating, and handling all kinds of things for a better future. Hoping to be a hero to someone out there, and staying active with that in mind.
