ADI

Brand & Visual Designer

Where architecture
meets visual identity.

I build brands from concept to completion — strategy, identity, print, and digital — with the structural precision of an architect and the eye of an artist.

01 About

Architect
by training.
Designer
by nature.

I hold a Master of Architecture (Urban Design) and a Bachelor of Architecture — disciplines that trained me to think in systems, communicate visually, and design from the ground up. Over the past decade, I've applied that thinking to brand identity, print design, web, and product branding across Japan, India, and the United States.

Based in Fukuoka, I work closely with Japanese clients and understand the precision, restraint, and cultural nuance that Japanese market design demands. I'm equally at home leading a full rebrand for a tech startup as I am sketching a logo concept with ink on paper before touching the screen.

I've been drawing for over 30 years. That foundation in analog craft shows up in everything I make.
