Kana Sato / Brand Director
A woman with a well-established sense of self and an aesthetic sense cultivated through her interactions with society.
We will spotlight someone who embodies the image of a woman that HÉRNI projects as its brand image.
Following on from the first part, we spoke with brand director Kana Sato.
Kana Sato is a branding director whose policy is to "act without considering conflicts of interest."
"My attitude doesn't change whoever I'm dealing with.
They say what needs to be said, and when introducing things or people, they don't think about profit or loss or expect anything in return.
But when you act with the hope that you can help someone, good things often come back to you just when you've forgotten about it."
In her private life, her hobby is baking sweets, which she says allows her to lose herself in the moment.
Always make your own choices and take responsibility for your work, lifestyle, cosmetics, and clothes.
Sato's dignified appearance coincides with HERNI's brand policy of "an independent woman who knows the importance of pampering herself."
"I like traveling alone to places where I can't speak the language and to confirm my own loneliness.
Perhaps by deliberately putting myself in an inconvenient and difficult situation, I am regaining my instincts and feelings."
In recent years, many of the things he has done simply because he enjoyed them have become his job, and he feels as if someone is pushing him forward.
She is currently preparing to open an online store that will showcase only the products she truly loves, including cosmetics, miscellaneous goods, and food.
