What I do
After two decades of living experience in different cultures I have developed a keen sense for verbal and visual communication which I now put to work providing international visual communication services with an emphasis on Japanese cultural products. Whether you need printed materials; thinking about creating a new visual identity, looking into making a memorable presentation or developing a website, I’d be delighted to help.

20年間をかけて様々な異文化体験した上に他文化とのコミュニケーション能力を高まりました。その豊富な経験を活かしているスタジオ・ブテリンは日本文化表現に集中し国際的なビジュアル・コミュニケーション・サービスを供給しています。印刷物のデザインかウエブサイト作成が困ったらあるいは影響力があるプレゼンを行いたいか印象深いブランディングを図ろうとしているのなら喜んで手伝います。

Who I am
I am a French-born, American trained graphic designer with a long-lasting fascination with Asia, especially Japanese culture, and a keen interest in international communication. These interests led me to follow two paths at the same time, one that went through Art School and the other through a more academic route. I came to Japan for the first time as a research student and upon completion of my degree requirements, settled back in Tokyo working in the administration of a university research center focusing on Asian media while working freelance. In my spare time, I enjoy restoring antiques and crafting modern jewelry pieces.
