Born in Kyoto, I studied art and design at Okanagan College and Emily Carr University of Art + Design in Canada. Based in Kyoto and Osaka, I create cohesive brand worlds across CI/VI, graphic, web, and spatial design.
At the heart of my work is the quiet elevation of what is inherent to a place or person, carefully shaping its connection with society. Moving beyond visual expression alone, I pursue design as a memorable experience, layering tactile qualities with a thoughtful use of “Ma” (negative space). Depending on the nature of each project, I collaborate with trusted partners, working closely with clients from the initial stages of development.
I place the greatest value on the process of building a world together from the ground up.
I aspire to create design with a quiet presence—design that does not need to speak loudly, yet communicates the identity and thinking behind a brand.
Due to the nature of certain projects, some of my work is not publicly available. If you would like to see further details, please contact me for a private portfolio.

Alongside my design work, I capture the interplay of light and shadow and the fleeting moments of daily life. For me, observing the rhythm of the streets is a way to sharpen my perspective—a process of giving form to the invisible atmospheres that also define my design.
