Bio

Background

After graduating from Tokyo Mode Gakuen, I studied beauty & fashion makeup, hair styling, and special effects makeup at Make-up Designory (MUD) in New York, completing the Master program.

I have worked on sets and backstage in fashion-week settings—including Paris Haute Couture and New York Fashion Week—across runway shows, advertising, and screen productions (film, drama, music videos, and commercials). With hair & makeup as my core, I have also been involved in look development and visual design, including costume and styling.

Selected credits include adidas, Gucci, Hermès, Mercedes-Benz, and Sony. I contributed to a Premiata campaign that was displayed at Milan Airport, and my painting work for a VOGUE project was featured in VOGUE.

Today, drawing on this international production experience, I create and write with Self-care × Art • wellbeing at the center of my practice. Through online beauty consultations centered on skincare and daily habits, I offer gentle, practical guidance to help you shape a beauty that feels true to you.

Art Project “Who Am I?” by TOMOKO

Started in 2018, this project shares works and words—film, photography, poetry, and music—offering gentle hints for inner dialogue (Mental Dialogue) and self-care.

For you who pause and waver, and still live through today.
For nights when shadows have no words—may there be a quiet light.

Beauty is an extension of comfort.
Self-care × Art • wellbeing
