The Design Kids is creating and extending a network of such powerful and vibrant design community around the world. The adventurous founder of TDK, Frankie Ratford and I met at -ing Creatives Festival in Dubai back in April, and we shared an amazing times together at the conference. It’s amazing how the world is getting smaller and smaller, and how we can stay in touch over the internet world, wherever we are on this planet.

For their featured artists’ interview, they asked me some fun questions. While talking about my “earliest creative memories”, it took me to all the memories of my childhood in Hokkaido, and it was hard to make it into a nice and sweet, short answer… but yes, what I’m doing now and 5-6 years old self are almost the same, maybe a little grown-up version. Living now in Berkeley, California, I miss Hokkaido so much. I’m so blessed and so fortunate to have these opportunities to share my little fantasies with everyone, including you, who’s reading this. Thank you for stopping by, I really appreciate your time. Ok, it’s time to go back to the nature for me now, I’m going to camping tomorrow into the wilderness of California.

The interview is now online. Have a read if you have a moment!
