Creative Director | Photographer | Artist

Tokyo, Japan

Concept : 

Awaken the Radiance.  - 輝きを、喚び覚せ。

写真とデザインを通して、人・ブランド・事業の「前へ進む内なる力」を喚び覚す表現制作を行う。

広告・建築・デザインの経験を背景に、
強さと美しさ、静けさと躍動、光と影といった相反する要素を重ね、目には見えない意志や感情を視覚化することを試みている。

アーティストとしての作品制作と並行し、
Creative Directorとしてブランドやプロジェクトのコンセプト設計からビジュアルディレクション、写真、デザインまで手がける。

Through photography and design, I create work that awakens the inner force that drives people, brands, and businesses forward.

Drawing on my background in architecture, advertising, and design, I explore contrasts — strength and beauty, stillness and motion, light and shadow — to give visual form to invisible forces such as will and emotion.

Alongside my artistic practice, I work as a Creative Director, shaping brands and projects from concept development to visual direction, photography, and design.
