Nakamura.ke—
2018

Role:Design Director

Nakamura.ke is the world’s first glow-in-the-dark pop-up ramen shop, offering a dinner-theater experience combining storytelling, art, and folklore. We collaborated with Zoo as Zoo and created two experiences: The first was a 50-page AR-enabled zine containing the menu, and program for the experience. The second was a set of three 5-feet interactive portraits of the wait staff, which diners can interact with.

Scope of work: Print, AR, Experience

Interactive Portraits.



AR Zine.

The visuals were created to capture the raw nature of
a family-run mobile kitchen serving lumen-ramen for the non-commons. It needed to feel like a mom and pop shop tucked away on the streets of Tokyo.
