About her
Ayana is a designer based in Kyoto.

Her curiosity for design and spaces started when she was a child. One of her favorite things to do was to make paintings, drawings, and small models of spaces and furniture. It was natural for her to start a journey of studying in the field of architecture and interior design.

Design
Design with a story
I sincerely provide my design services with stories and values that meet the needs of my clients and partners by listening carefully to their intentions, doing conscientious research about the materials, analyzing the given conditions with a global mindset, and fully understanding the goals of the project.
I discover and deliver a design/solution with a respectful and elegant look and feel with careful attention to detail for each project. Whether it's an interior/space/product/graphic/design or branding, they all translate a powerful and meaningful story behind it and connect the end users to the discovery of rich/new experiences of time.
