About this video
Description
Where does the “office” end? Research becomes fiction; fiction becomes design. This talk explores a design practice that unfolds through publishing, digital realms and the soft edges of graphic design — revealing how iteration, craft, research and play form the core of the process. Kenjiro draws connections between cooking, printing, designing and interaction and shares how design can move beyond the studio to become part of everyday life.

Kenjiro leads the creative vision at HATO—a publishing house, design studio and concept store with locations in London and Hong Kong. HATO develops design through a playful approach grounded in research, concept and participation. Working within culture—and collaborating with artists, organisations, and brands who share these values—has driven the studio’s practice for over a decade. HATO’s goal is to connect a genuine community, leaving a legacy that adds value and provides a strong foundation for growth.
Kenjiro’s experience has evolved to focus on digital products and branding, with a specialism in co-creation and creative strategy. He has applied this approach across a range of client projects, including On, the Barbican, the V&A, District Vision, BAO, and New Contemporaries.
