CAREER Enrolled in September 2012; Completed master’s degree in September 2014
I was part of Prof. Sugiura’s lab during my Master’s studies in 2012 and 2014. I remember my time at KMD as exciting and mind-opening, but above all, as a big learning experience. Even more than the curriculum, I appreciate having access to each and every one of the mentors at KMD who kindly share their own unique and extremely rich experiences.
I was very lucky to be part of Sugiura’s lab as well, who from the get-go could see and understand my own ambitions, capabilities, and also fears, placing me in the right place at the right time. This understanding and human connection made my experience at KMD one of the most rewarding of my life.
Currently, I am the Founder and Creative Director of the Tokyo Art-Direction Studio Onesal, where I lead an international team of artists, technical experts, and project managers. At Onesal, we make films and provide art direction for Amazon, Apple, Sony, Uniqlo, Deloitte, and other forward-thinking brands. Onesal’s core value lays in being able to visualize the future through visual innovation. And doing so in a beautiful way.
