OUR TEAM
Tomokazu Morisawa
CEO
“Originally from Kochi, I worked as an IT system project manager for a consulting company and a foreign pharmaceutical company before becoming the CEO of The DECK. I have lived in London, Shanghai and Dubai, so I would like to make The Deck a global environment. We also support manufacturing and prototyping using the various equipment in The DECK, and we will provide a place to realize various things, such as support for corporate innovation efforts and startup support. Please feel free to contact us.”
Fumi Mukai
Manager, Community Coordinator
“In June 2018, we launched “Kansai Beyond the Community”, a community that collaborates with co-working spaces, governments, universities, and companies in Kansai. We would like to pour our energy into supporting everyone through the community of The DECK and the Entrepreneur Support Network throughout Kansai! We also provide business plan consultations and support meetings on a daily basis.”
Ayami Ogawa
Community Coordinator
“I work on Tuesdays at The DECK and usually teach English at universities and for adults.
I hope to help decrease the number of people who are not good at English. I also join a food tech start-up, especially for people who are Vegetarian, Vegan, Halal and Gluten Free.
Please feel free to talk to me because I am not shy.”
Tomoe Sho
Community Coordinator / Designer, Maker Space Specialist
“Experienced as a craftsman for order shoes for athletes for 10 years. "Manufacturing" is our daily life. The time will come when “creation is value” more and more! One person who thinks. Every day, we help people step into new values through the “Made in THE DECK” space. Please feel free to contact us for manufacturing and design consultation!”
Shizuka Nakahashi
Community Coordinator
Maker Space Specialist
I have had an interesting professional career starting as a mechanical engineering graduate and eventually spending 6 years at a printing company. I want everyone to realize that no matter how clumsy they are, they can use machines to produce professional quality work! Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about machines, such as "I want to make something like this!" or "I want something new!”
