The gap between design and code is closing.AI is closing it faster.Soon the border between the two will not mean much. But AI builds on top of a story.It does not have one of its own.That part is still ours — and it is the part I want to lead. ## Story 1. Sept 2020 – Mar 2024 BSc in Multimedia Technology Asia Pacific University of Technology and Innovation (APU / APIIT) · Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - - 2. Aug 2022 – Nov 2022 Graphic Designer / Frontend Developer Intern Maybank · Internship · Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia - 4 months as an intern, running events for the **Talent Acquisition and Apprentice Programme**, for university students and outside guests. - I **designed the collateral** for GenM and then **built the landing page** it went on. - I also built a **360° tour of Mercu Maybank** in A-Frame, so visitors could walk the office before they arrived. - 3. Nov 2023 – Dec 2025 Frontend Developer INMAGINE (123RF) · Full-time · Malaysia - 123RF was my first job. I went to learn how front-end is really built, next to full-stack developers and a design team. - The work was **Search and Media Assets**: multi-select filters built up over years, where every change had to keep the photo and vector **keyword pages crawlable**. - Then 6 months on the **AI assistant**, building its front-end from nothing with the back-end team. - The **design system** and the front-end had grown apart, more than I could close alone. I asked the designers what to revamp first, and we went by **revenue**: portfolio, then index. - Payments came last: 3 months in a new domain, the **team plan and its pricing table**, and asking the lead and the designer rather than assuming. - 2 years in, the part I wanted was the conversation before the code. - [123RF (opens in a new tab)](https://www.123rf.com/) 4. Mar 2026 – Present Product Designer Bridge International Asia · Full-time · Malaysia - I joined Bridge as a front-end developer and moved into **product design** in July 2026. - The work is corporate sites and products for **Japanese companies opening in Malaysia**. - I do the **research and the draft designs**, and stay with the development team through the build. - It is the first place where the drafts and the code have been the same job. - ## About Me ![Yuriko Goto wearing a sage-green lace kimono, standing in front of a red wall and wooden lattice fence](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/abhu4epu/production/cb7e0aef3961e2849778e9ea856f4ce9471f5253-516x763.png?w=1200&auto=format&fit=max) Pick a questionGet to know Yuri ## Selected work 8 projects ![Apprecia Gallery Showcase](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/abhu4epu/production/26a002b5bfe1c71c612fadd9fdb8865e8f7272b0-2940x1600.png?w=960&auto=format&fit=max) Apprecia Gallery Showcase A virtual museum you stand inside. 42 public-domain paintings and prints hang across six 360° rooms — drag to look around, select a work to read its wall label, or put on a headset.

No pages — orbit and zoom is the whole interface, with a piano-and-birdsong loop you can switch on. ![Tri Fold Brochure - Nagano Apple](https://cdn.sanity.io/images/abhu4epu/production/c29899c8ab41319fd712c1c76dcddce72b02bf29-1650x1275.jpg?w=960&auto=format&fit=max) Tri Fold Brochure - Nagano Apple A trifold brochure for Nagano apples, aimed at readers outside Japan.
