Projects
Different projects, one direction.
Business, software, impact, field experience and art. They look like different things, but they all head the same way: towards giving people a way out of the stress their screens pile on them, and towards paying for someone else's next step. The paintings and 3D work also have a page of their own. Nothing here is a class assignment. Each one was started because something about it would not leave me alone.

BusinessBerrapyBerrapy is a character brand about two blueberry brothers who move at completely different speeds. The name is berry plus therapy, and the premise is relief from digital fatigue and recovery through nature.
BusinessKKUMULKKUMUL is a hand-lettering fancy-goods brand I launched. Its handwriting is unpolished on purpose, because handwriting that is slightly clumsy settles people down, and the brand exists to help someone deliver a feeling they find difficult to say.Impact

ArtFrom a grandmother’s courage to the footsteps of peaceI entered the 2026 youth work contest on the victims of Japanese military sexual slavery, in the art and design category, with a set of goods designs. The contest closes after this was written, so the honest status is entered and nothing more.
