Our job is to make customers’ greatest dreams come true. After 10 years of working in sales of custom detached houses, there have been many things that made me realize that point. We take into consideration all of the customer’s hopes and concerns for the construction of their home, and we propose concrete measures that help make their dreams a reality. Of course, I’m happy when a customer says they chose to go with Sekisui House because of my input, but when I hear customers say how happy they are that they chose Sekisui House or how comfortable their house is even years after construction, or even just seeing a happy family living in one of our homes, it always fills my heart with joy.

As Sales Manager and a member of the Female Sales Staff Promotion Committee, I’ve realized how difficult and satisfying it is to consider not just my own growth but what I can do to help others grow and achieve their goals, and how that helps move us all forward. I also think my experiences as a member of the female sales staff have helped me to better understand the needs of customers raising children and to create plans that meet their specific requirements. As careers and lifestyles change, so must our sales style. I’m also dedicated to using my current expertise and being honest with customers to adapt to those changes accordingly. I also look forward to growing with the times and seeing what my own future holds.

Whether it is proposing a plan that leads to a successful contract, collaborating with customers to shape their ideal living space, or witnessing their joy upon project completion. All these bring immense fulfillment in being a designer. During a class observation at my eldest son's elementary school, he once said, “I want to be an architect when I grow up because my mom seems to really enjoy her work.” While I often navigate complex requests and challenging conditions at work, I genuinely find joy in the homebuilding process. Knowing that my family recognizes this is something I deeply cherish.
Currently, in addition to managing design work for my assigned projects, I also handle administrative tasks, monitor KPIs, oversee talent development, and provide support to both sales and design team members in my role as Design Chief Manager. Through this role, I have come to experience firsthand that individual effort has its limits. By seeking support and working collaboratively, we can achieve far greater success and growth than we ever imagined. My goal is to cultivate an environment where every team member—including myself—remains committed to personal growth while maintaining a positive and engaged approach to daily work.

I oversee the Construction Section, a team of on-site supervisors. We are a diverse group composed of junior staff, experienced professionals, and contract employees, each with different career backgrounds and lifestyles. We work together as a team, respecting each other’s values and embracing diversity, all while striving toward a common goal: building homes that satisfy our customers. As Construction Director, my responsibilities go beyond ensuring construction projects are completed on schedule—I also play a key role in meeting the branch’s various performance targets.
Over the past year and a half, my responsibilities have evolved rapidly, shifting from on-site supervision to headquarters staff and, most recently, to Construction Director. Although the journey has presented challenges, I have also come to appreciate the importance of embracing new opportunities and committing myself to mastering the tasks at hand. Furthermore, participating in the Sekisui House Women’s College gave me the opportunity to learn alongside many female colleagues striving for managerial roles. This experience broadened my perspective, encouraging me to consider what is best for our branch and company while taking proactive steps toward meaningful change. To continue delivering results in any role I take on in the future, I remain committed to pushing my limits, growing, and evolving.

In the Rental Operations Department, where I serve as Senior Manager, the primary role of my team is to strengthen corporate governance by providing auditing support to sales offices, driving rental operations, and streamlining business processes to improve efficiency. Our department assigns four operational sections to each geographical area. Led by four operational section managers, we collaborate closely with various sales and technical departments to manage our talent. One of the most rewarding aspects of being a manager is having team members seek my advice or rely on my guidance, even for small matters. I strive to be as helpful as possible by offering proactive solutions and meaningful direction.
Throughout my career at the company, I have had the opportunity to experience diverse roles across different departments. While transitioning to new positions initially felt daunting, I found that setting small goals and pursuing them with enthusiasm ultimately contributed to my personal growth. My goal in the rental business is to create a more dynamic organization and foster an environment where female sales professionals can build long-term careers and have the opportunity to advance into managerial positions.
