Landscaping emotions.

I’m a multilingual Japanese styleframe designer based in a small village on the France-Switzerland border. My approach is concept-driven, weaving deep research into frames that shape a story’s emotional undertone. My goal is always the same: to create images that make people wonder—even if the feeling is unsettling. Obsessed with capturing the ephemerality of human affairs, my work isn’t always obvious at first glance—but if you look closely, you might feel something profound.


An imperfect journey, veined with accumulated perspective.

I drifted a bit—working 15+ years on set—until Covid confinement became my turning point. With zero knowledge of Adobe software, I fearlessly plunged into motion design, teaching myself from scratch. I’ve navigated a wildly diverse landscape—from selling diamonds during an internship at a national media archive in Amsterdam, to collaborating with clients like NATO and UEFA, and calling multiple countries home. Every chapter has become a tool in my creative arsenal, shaping my process and fueling my ability to fuse ideas in unexpected ways—all grounded in my roots in film and literature. If my work speaks to you, I’d love to hear from you. I’m all about long-term creative partnerships, not one-night flings, by the way. My interests are as varied as my experiences—if you ever want to chat about football, cats, Star Trek, or Romans, I’m always up for that too.

Thanks for stopping by.
