Shiro is a lead product designer — currently at Disney, based in New York City.
About
I'm a Product Design leader with a background spanning consumer products, business tooling, brand, and visual design. Throughout my career, I've led cross-platform products from strategy through launch, designed immersive augmented reality experiences, multiple upfront campaigns, managed teams, and earned a few awards along the way.
I am currently on Disney's Ad Platforms team, where I work across complex systems that power campaign creation, creative workflows, and measurement. Previously, I was part of Disney's Frameworks team, where I led cross-platform initiatives spanning Hulu and Disney Help Centers, email systems, App Store experiences, and in-app messaging.
From designing the Food Network Kitchen app to bringing an original physical conversation card game to market, I enjoy solving complex problems across digital and physical experiences. Today, I focus on shaping product strategy, influencing cross-functional teams, and building scalable experiences that drive meaningful business impact.
Outside of work, I’m usually trying to keep my plants, and myself, hydrated.
