Description: The recently popular “mobile Pokémon TCG game” is a mobile game where you collect virtual Pokémon cards and compete against opponents using those cards. As a motion designer myself, this work was created from the imagination of “If I were a Pokémon, what kind of skills and traits would I use to appeal to people?” By fusing the fields of 2D and faux 3D, this piece reinterprets them as an engaging motion animation.

“Connect & Create NOBEOKA” is a residency program in which directors and filmmakers stay in Nobeoka and create video works while engaging with the local people, landscapes, culture, and everyday life. For the 2026 residency call, we produced the teaser visual and teaser movie. Building on the foundation of the program’s activities and its visual identity cultivated to date, we designed the colors and materials. Drawing motifs from Nobeoka’s culture and climate, we created tactile visual and cinematic expressions that are rooted in the region’s character and attuned to creators’ passion for making.

A massive installation for Dubai Design Week using the LED façade of the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building. Inspired by the colossal tower rising from the earth to the sky, the installation begins in the magma deep underground and travels through layers of the earth’s crust, the deep sea, the ocean, the desert, the city, the mountains, the sky, and outer space, and then on beyond time and space. Surrounded by hundreds of people, it raises a fantastical pillar of light in the pitch-black Middle Eastern night, inviting viewers on a journey of ascension.
