Meet Ms.Nami
Hello! I'm Miss Nami. I was born in Honolulu, HI and raised between Honolulu and Aichi Prefecture, Japan. I hold a Bachelor of Design in Science of Design from Musashino Art University, where I studied a wide range of design fields. During my studies, I enjoyed working with diverse materials such as wood, clay, and 3D modeling, which gave me a strong foundation in both creative thinking and hands-on making.
I began my journey as a teaching artist at this studio in early 2025. I am passionate about supporting young artists in discovering their creativity and developing their hands-on building skills.
My Story
What I love most about art and design is the creative process and the meaningful experiences they offer. Seeing the world through the eyes of an artist or designer inspires deeper curiosity and reflection. Art making is a journey of trial and error, growth, and constant discovery. I hope to share that joy of exploration with others by teaching and supporting their creativity.
I’ve loved drawing since I was young. Whether bringing my imagination to life or capturing everyday beauty, creating something others can connect with has always been deeply fulfilling. One of my early inspirations was a Japanese TV program called Design Ah!, which shaped the way I see design—not just as a way to make things, but as a way to observe the world differently. It showed me that curiosity is at the heart of creativity, and that even ordinary moments can become meaningful through art.
