Description
Hi! This is Fumiko from Japan.
Architecture, Art classes for kids, Dance, Facilitation, Design, and Organizing the collaboration with the local people are what I have experienced and been influenced by.
I love to know new things and people that take me somewhere unpredictable.
I studied printmaking in Florence and architecture in London and Kyoto.
After the Great East Japan earthquake, I moved back to the countryside from Tokyo with my family.
I am a graphic designer and a founder of a little non-profit organization that makes the diverse bonds between people in the city and people in the rural area.
I got work experience as the coordinator and the branding&PR person in several non-profit organizations, the university, and the company.
I am currently working as a graphic designer, the PR for a non-profit organization that keeps supporting the people who had suffered from the Great East Japan earthquake.Interests

CARPENTRY
Currently, I am renovating my mother's flat by myself since the COVID-19 spread. I took away almost everything and built it again, so I have knowledge of how to use tools and understand the process of renovation.
ART WORKSHOP FOR KIDS
I love making unpredictable and USELESS things with kids. I have many experiences with workshops. Depending on the situation, I sometimes can do the workshop to make something USEFUL :).

I mostly work on graphic design, but sometimes the website too.
