The Style Alchemist remixing streetwear, sculpture, 3D and AR into a future-forward vision for creatives." A boundary-blurring creative force — part fashion futurist, part digital craftsman. By day, I channel sleek Japanese workwear into minimalist streetwear with KonceptCulture, dressing tattoo artists, designers, and industry innovators in purpose-built gear. By night (and often day too), I 3D sculpt digital assets, blending anime, video games, and Ashley Wood vibes into collectibles that feel like personal myths. I move seamlessly between worlds — clothing design, 3D modeling, teaching, storytelling — with a grounded sense of craftsmanship and community. Whether I'm designing 3D assets for AR applications or mentoring teens on character design, everything I create is equal parts utility and soul. Now I’m curious — what’s a project or idea you’ve been dying to do next but haven’t started yet? My motto is: "If you can see it, I can make it"

    TTGL - Motion Graphic promo poster

    Inspired by my favorit anime “Tengen Toppa Gurren Laggan”

    Beneath the suffocating weight of a tyrannical order, humanity cowers in the dark—crushed beneath the boot of the Spiral King. But from the depths of despair, two outcasts ignite the spark of revolution. Fists collide with the force of dying stars and mechs grow larger than destiny itself. The battles aren’t fought with steel—but with ideals. Freedom clashes against oppression in a cosmic deathmatch, where the very universe trembles before mankind’s refusal to kneel.

    The Spiral King’s iron grip. The Anti-Spiral’s cold determinism. All will burn in the face of humanity’s unbreakable spirit! Drills pierce fate. Grit overrides logic. The impossible is a challenge, not a limit. where every victory is ripped from the jaws of annihilation, and the only rule is “Kick reason to the curb and do the impossible!”

    Tales of the Jorōgumo – Vol. 1

    “He was deceived by her smile and drawn in by promises of pleasure and eternal peace. 🕸️
    The Jorōgumo is a spider yōkai who shapeshifts into a beautiful woman, luring naive, able-bodied men into her web to satisfy an insatiable hunger. She nests in forests, caves, or forgotten homes—using charm and cunning intelligence to seduce and trap her prey. To her, humans are little more than insects.”

    This piece marks the first entry in my “Tales of the Jorōgumo” series. Every illustration starts by hand —drawn with tsumi ink on watercolor paper or canvas, capturing that raw, organic motion in the flow of each line. Once scanned, I bring the sketch into Adobe Photoshop to refine line weight and experiment with color. From there, I vectorize it in Adobe Illustrator to prep it for screen printing onto shirts.

    The process feels like a journey of its own—full of creative traps, mental detours, and unexpected breakthroughs. But I resist the seduction of procrastination… just like a wary traveler avoiding the Jorōgumo’s web.

    KOTENGU - Augmented Reality Apparel

    I began exploring Augmented Reality as a way to elevate the storytelling behind my apparel collection. As a longtime fan of Japanese folklore, I wanted to create a piece that not only looked good—but also shared the visual and cultural depth of traditional characters and stories from Japan’s past.

    The goal was to make the experience fun, interactive, and informative—not just for the wearer, but for anyone they crossed paths with. Using mobile AR tech, I designed the shirt so that when scanned through the Artivive app, an animation would come to life right on the viewer’s screen.

    This was the first iteration of the project, and it turned out to be a successful launch—laying the foundation for even more immersive storytelling in future drops.
