日本語のご案内はこちら

Overview

Spectrum Tokyo is a community that wishes to bring the global design scene closer to the Japanese locals. But not only learning from overseas, we also work to reveal the local Japanese design scene to the world at the same time.

And what brings the two more closer? SUSHI.

We are holding a small cozy meetup over sushi and drinks with Peter Merholz, a design executive and organizational consultant, best known as the co-founder of Adaptive Path and the author of the book “Org Design for Design Orgs”. The purpose is to exchange insights from both global and local design scenes through lightning talks and discussions.

We will have a professional sushi chef and he will make some sushi of your choice. Enjoy the sushi, relax, get to know each other, and let’s have a good time chatting!

He co-founded Adaptive Path, the premier user experience consultancy, acquired by Capital One in 2014. After leaving Adaptive Path, served as a design executive, leading teams at Groupon, OpenTable, Capital One, Snagajob (now Snag), and Kaiser Permanente.
