Senior🎓
Top SchoolMasaki Yamabe is a Tokyo-based data visualization artist, researcher and educator who blends computer science and graphic design to turn complex datasets into expressive, immersive visual experiences. Holding a Ph.D. in Media and Governance, he designs scientific and informative visualizations for academia, broadcast (including 8K NHK COVID-19 visualizations) and gallery exhibitions worldwide. As founder of Design and Programming Inc. and a Specially Appointed Assistant Professor at Hitotsubashi (and Project Senior Assistant Professor at Keio), he bridges practice and research while mentoring the next generation of creative coders. His work has earned the Good Design Award (2022) and the Visualization Society of Japan grand prix (2021), and he publishes and teaches tools-focused visualization workflows dating back to a 2013 programming primer. Less obvious: he repeatedly ships large-format, interactive systems (8K installations and broadcast-ready visuals) that require both artistic direction and production-grade engineering.
