From Tokyo to Tapiola posters outside

"From Tokyo to Tapiola" Exhibition Design

I developed the visual and graphic design for the From Tokyo to Tapiola exhibition, including marketing materials. I designed the exhibition architecture, poster, flyers, brochures, exhibition graphics, and social media materials. I also designed a custom mascot, Kiko, to enhance exhibition communication. Additionally, I designed four interactive play stations with custom props. I was also responsible for the design and procurement of products for the museum shop.

BOB playing cards

BOB Card Game

I designed and illustrated a Twin Peaks-themed card game called BOB. This playable card game delves into the fascinating families of Twin Peaks. But be careful—if you play, you might end up with a new family member you’d rather avoid!
