I'm Apparel Product Planning Manager in MIZUNO CORPORATION(THE NETHERLANDS). I have experience of product planing for running apparel for more than 10 years. Running is unique because we play it with belongings. That's why runners say pocket is really important. But I thought each sports brand don’t focus on pocket since not many sports are played with belongings. It looks like blue ocean. Consumer wants it but nobody makes it. It means we Mizuno still have possibility to make innovative pocket if we focus on it. I tried to be a specialist of pocket to bring the amazing product to runners.

The Design Business Index (DBI) is a merit-based rating system and professional directory founded to address one of the design industry’s biggest challenges: the difficulty of reliably assessing a designer’s true capabilities before a project begins. Through its partnership with the internationally recognized A’ Design Award, DBI combines a rigorous blind review process with transparent evaluation criteria to transform subjective design quality into objective credentials. By featuring only those who have demonstrated excellence under these stringent standards, DBI ensures a carefully curated pool of top talent, where clients can make confident, data-driven decisions about creative partnerships.
Beyond its directory, DBI offers a comprehensive DBI Credibility Suite™ designed to help designers and studios stand out in an overcrowded market.
