Kazuhiro Naito

I am a policy maker and service designer passionate about promoting innovation brought about by science and technology.

Before joining RCA to study service design, I worked at the government of Japan for six years, leading impactful initiatives such as reforming an academic funding system and launching a national research and development program.

After six years in public policy, I took a leap to join the RCA, believing that design can be a powerful method to drive innovation and social change.

The year I spent at the RCA gave me extensive experience in service design and speculative design practice, as well as working with professionals from diverse backgrounds.

In the future, I hope to make an impact on society at the intersection of technology and design.
