Interview
R.I
Joined in 2023 Design Department, Osaka Office
- Could you tell us about your department and your role?
I am part of the Design Department, assisting with client meetings and supporting projects from the initial concept through basic and detailed design. Until now, I have been learning a lot as part of a team, but this year, in my third year, I have been given my first project to handle independently. Although I am still nervous, I want to apply what I have learned, approach each task carefully, and continue growing.

- What made you decide to join the company?
I have loved creating things since I was a child, which led me to become interested in the architecture industry. I was drawn to architectural design work because it allows me to be involved in the design aspect. When I saw the company’s website, I felt their strong focus on design, and I wanted to be part of a team that shapes such attractive spaces. That was the deciding factor for me.

- How would you describe the atmosphere at the company?
Throughout the year, various events are organized, which allow me to interact not only with colleagues I don’t usually work closely with in the same office, but also with people from the Tokyo and Vietnam offices. Thanks to an environment where I can collaborate with supervisors, seniors, and juniors, I am able to stay motivated in my daily work.

- Did you notice any differences between your expectations before joining and the reality after starting?
I had imagined that design work would mostly be done individually and quietly. In reality, we work as a team, so there is a lot of communication, and everything is explained thoroughly, which allows me to learn a great deal.
- What do you think are the most appealing aspects of working at this company?
One of the most appealing aspects is the variety of experiences and opportunities for challenges in daily work. With the support of supervisors and senior colleagues, I often get to take on new tasks, which allows me to gradually improve my skills. This environment of continuous growth is very attractive.
- Finally, what message would you like to share with people considering joining the company?
I still feel that my knowledge and experience are limited, but I can see myself gradually improving by working earnestly. As long as you have a genuine interest in design and the desire to try, I believe you can take on many challenges at this company.
