MAJO — Matcha Tasting Journal
Chacun son régime !

French. Based in Fukuoka. I move between brand identity for hospitality, editorial design, percussion, and the slow work of a book.
I work with brands and hotels that value cultural depth over trend, and clarity over noise. Fluent in French and English, conversational in Japanese.
