About

Born in Tokyo, Japan, in 2001, Mao was surrounded by creativity from a young age, thanks to his family's deep involvement in artistic fields such as painting, design, and art education. Immersed in this environment, his pure energy for art and design developed naturally. His passion lies in footwear design, particularly in athletic shoes. Sports have played a significant role in his life—having competed as a swimmer and soccer player until a back injury led him to retire from the competitive level. However, his love for sports remains strong, and he has been building up his skills leading to the related fields.

Building on this formative experience, Mao pursued a degree in industrial design, where he honed his skills in problem-solving and developed a strong commitment to creating sustainable solutions. His approach to design is not just about aesthetics or function but also about positively influencing those around him. By sharing his experiences and personality, he strives to foster collaboration and creativity, driving collective growth and innovation in his work.

Currently attending to Academy of Art University, expected to graduate in May 2025.
