Bio

My name is Tomoki Nomura.

​Originally from Japan, my journey has taken me across the globe since I was 13, shaping my design approach with diverse cultural insights. This peripatetic experience informs my design process, allowing me to find unique perspectives and approaches that resonate on an international scale.​

My work is characterized by a commitment to quality and refinement, aimed at enhancing the spaces they inhabit. I also prioritize ethical production practices, ensuring fair wages for everyone involved in bringing my designs to life.

I hope you enjoy viewing my work.

Thank you for taking a look!

FAQ
(01)
What tools do you use to design?

In the early stages of concept development, I start with foundational tools like pencil and paper, alongside Photoshop to quickly sketch out ideas. As concepts take shape, I transition into SolidWorks and Rhino 3D for detailed modeling. For high-quality renderings, I use KeyShot and Unreal Engine. Throughout the process, I also build physical prototypes using tools such as 3D printers, laser cutters, and sewing machines.
