02 / ACTIVITIES

Plan it, do it,
keep the result.

Travel, station-sound recording and earlier personal projects—activities carried into the real world with a purpose and constraints.

The evidence here is not a title or an award. It is the record of taking an idea as far as real action.

Depending on the activity, the archive includes proposals, schedules, original documents and later reflection. Outcomes that did not work are kept without decoration.

WEB STRUCTURE / CONTENT SUPPORT

  • Dividing complex information into clear pages
  • Considering navigation from a visitor's viewpoint
  • Giving headings and explanations distinct roles
  • Keeping the structure practical to update

PERSONAL PROJECT / CLOSED

Trying to build a buyer-first marketplace

Sakasama Furima reached an early launch, but I could not turn it into a sustainable operation and chose to close it.

  • Starting with what buyers wanted
  • Preparing the name, domain and site
  • Trying to carry too many roles alone
  • Closing the project and keeping an honest record
