I have really been out of the blogging world but today I am jumping back in! There are too many inspirations out there that I keep putting off to put up here and have not, so now is the time to change that. So what have I been doing since I last wrote?
The biggest event has been doing an internship in Tokyo with the design firm threewhite. Let me start at the beginning. Because it is very likely that I will come back to Japan to work there after my studies in the US are over, I did many searches to find a place to try this work lifestyle in Japan this summer. Though the concept of internships are rather common in the US or in Europe, in Japan, it is unfortunately not so. Eventually though, I found threewhite’s name on another blog, similar to this one and followed through to their site. The body of work impressed me right away, and I was inspired by the careful observation and the sensitivity of life’s everyday findings put into the design. I contacted threewhite, and now, many months later, I’m lucky to be here.
Since working here I’ve met many people and seen new aspects of the Japanese design world, and I want to share my experiences on this blog little by little.
