略歴

Editor, writer, and project facilitator based in Oita, Japan.

After working as a local newspaper journalist, I joined BEPPU PROJECT, an NPO producing contemporary art projects. There I managed a web media platform on the theme of collaboration between companies and designers, organized events, and supported actual collaborative partnerships.

Independent since 2022. My work spans planning through the articulation of ideas, editing and writing that brings clarity to a tangle of perspectives, and facilitation that surfaces unease and keeps projects moving — opening up dialogue and smoothing the way forward. The role I take on varies by project, but in each one I work with language at the centre.

In recent years I have been involved from the planning stage in projects with private companies, welfare organizations, local government, and designers, going on to handle the editing and writing of related materials. I care about projects where everyone involved can bring their strengths, sometimes stepping beyond their usual domain, working together toward something better. I also believe in projects that bring small, gradual changes to the world immediately around us.

Based in Oita, working primarily across Kyushu. Enquiries are welcome regardless of location.
