DAI 505

Hi, I'm Takanori Mogi. I'm a senior studnet at San Francisco State University. I'm studying product design and this my last semester.....I hope..
I'm taking DAI 505 class in this semester. In this class, we identify the design problem, do the research and find the solution. I will post some progress in this blog.

I'm inspired by many different things, people, some objects, movies, etc... I continue to enjoy my life and do what I'm interested in....maybe design or maybe other things. That's the my vision and hope for my life.
