I like to use an analog medium for my works such as pencils, paints, recycled paper, and foil stamps, but I also like to combine them with digital elements in my drawings and collages to produce a world with an antique, faintly dim atmosphere. My primary artistic activities include participation in exhibits and design festivals, and I plan to host a personal exhibit in December of 2020.

I make resin accessories based on themes of constellations and my works all live in a fictional, fantasy world of shooting stars.
I first stumbled upon resin nine years ago.
Though I had to put it down for a short while because of my work obligations, I used my layoff as an opportunity to invest more time into my personal hobbies and got back into working with resin.
During a visit to my hometown, I found myself incredibly moved by the sight of the beautiful starry sky and the experience prompted me to begin combining stars and resin in my creations.
Currently, I mostly conduct most of my sales online, and will have my works exhibited at commission-based events.

Born in 1992. I began making accessories as a hobby, but this eventually got me into working with UV resin, which I used to start designing products such as smartphone cases.
In recent years, my designs have been mainly based on steampunk and post-apocalyptic genres. I aim to create a setting in my works that emphasizes the variety of “colors” in worlds with a pervasive sense of futility and a melancholic nostalgia.
