Trained in both Japan and California, Haruko brings a rich, cross-cultural perspective to the team she co-founded with graphic designer Sunao Ishii to form Integrafika Design Studio.

Haruko's study of environmental and interior design began with a deep curiosity about how we interact with our surroundings. She honed her craft at the Rudolph Schaeffer School of Design and later graduated with Distinction from the California College of the Arts with a BFA in Environmental Design. Today, she is a certified interior designer in California and a proud professional member of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID).

Haruko values her relationships and collaborations with clients. Whether she is managing a major luxury renovation—like the Four Seasons on Market Street—or tailoring a large industrial space to meet the needs of the Amakara family restaurant in Dublin California, she works hand-in-hand with architects, contractors, and clients to bring visions to life from the ground up. Her residential and commercial projects stretch from the SF Bay Area to New York and Japan, and her work has caught the eye of editors at Architectural Digest and San Francisco Focus.

No matter the scale, Haruko believes every space is an opportunity to find perfection in design, process and execution.
